Hope you made out of tn before the weather got to bad, my cousin said it is tough there now,

[protomech]

TN has been alternating pretty fast between drizzly, stormy, and pretty and clear for the past two days.

Great to see you, Ben.. come back to Nashville anytime!

Got caught in the rain which caused some issues.  You'll see it in tomorrow's story...

Skipped one on this forum...  Oops.

Getting to Cleveland was fun and easy but there was a big SNAFU waiting for me, check out the story here.

"They said the owner charges people $10 to charge there if they didn’t get their vehicle from that dealership"

Nice. So what was the name of the dealership that was such a bag of dicks?

Nissan of Mansfield in Mansfield Ohio between Columbus and Cleveland.  I'm planning on posting thank you notes on dealers Facebook pages with links to articles/videos.  These guys will get a modified thank you.

The three country tour on an electric motorcycle continues! I rode 475 miles across PA to get back to NJ for the night, and here is the story of that leg of the journey. I still have to get to Canada this weekend, but that won't be as challenging as this day was!

Here is a direct link to the video on youtube:

Too bad you are sticking to the interstate, you skipped past some pretty amazing riding through Central PA there.

PS the link doesn't work but I found the article by going to the InsideEVs home page.

I'm planning to ride some of the PA roads later this summer, but that day I just had to get to my destination.  I have a schedule to keep and so far have been able to keep up with it! 

Thanks for the tip about the link to the article not working, fixed it.

Cheers!

Did you manage to fix the inlet on your bike?
Any idea what caused it?

The connection to my onboard charger is still broken, but it works.  One of the connection pins comes out with the cord.  I just need it to work until next week when the part comes in from Zero.  It will make the trip to Canada a little more exciting than I would like, but won't stop me.

I plan to be at the Montreal Science Centre from 5-7pm on Saturday. 

I'll be finishing up my Three Country Tour there and hope to see some electric vehicle riders to hang out with at the end of my journey.

On the topic of how to handle charging sessions, maybe a little foldable transportation like a Razor scooter or folding bike would help getting a medium distance away from your charger and back. Just a thought.

Made it to Montreal!!!  Thank you RickXB for having dinner with me, the poutine was very good!  It was a short, btu very fun visit.  I went swing dancing in the park, had dinner with Rick and his wife, then got to spend quality time with a friend. 

Full story to follow, right now I'm charging in Plattsburgh ahead of an103 mile stretch to Lake George.

On my way home today.  What an incredible month it has been! 

Will write up the Canada journey soon and then it's back to real life again... until the Alt Energy Summit on July 25th in NH!
