EV Road Trip – Pre car check – Find out about different Electric Vehicle Chargers

Today we looked through the Island Way car to make sure I had all the charger attachments I would need for the road trip tomorrow.

Read the itinerary here: https://www.opalco.com/follow-opalcos-ev-road-trip-in-october-a-carbon-free-adventure/2021/09/. Tomorrow we will visit Snohomish PUD and their microgrid in Arlington and a Bonneville Power Association transmission substation.
