On Tuesday night August 28th, the Capital District EV Drivers made history in holding the nation's first all electric drive-in movie event at the Greenville Drive-In and Outdoor Cinema. That's right, no gas cars were allowed at all. Yes, little ole us in upstate NY and not a group in CA or the...

Congratulations Abhishek. Our National Drive Electric Week event is on Saturday, September 15th at the Delmar Farmer's Market. Can you join us with your new Model 3? National Drive Electric Week Event - Delmar There are six other Model 3's signed up already. :)

Three posts ago I mentioned that Okemo has 8 of them.

Jiminy Peak now has two Destination EVSEs as well. It's finally fashionable for ski mountains to offer EV charging. :)

I see on Plugshare that Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, VT now has 8 destination chargers! Has anyone used them and snapped a photo or two? No one has uploaded any on Plugshare yet.

The early Model 3's may not have an available under car receiver but that doesn't mean you can fabricate or modify an existing one. It will be interesting to see what the rear frame looks like after the rear bumper cover is removed. If it is anything like most modern cars, you could mount it...

They are right in front of Dave and Busters, by Dick's Sporting Goods.

I don't think there are any issues, I view this new installation as Elon's promised increase of units in preparation for the Model 3 launch.

He is correct. The night pics are from June 23rd. The crate pic is from earlier this week. Mike

That's awesome. At 425 miles, you'll be our longest distance participant to date. It will be great to meet you. :)

Thank you for the updates! So the only remaining question then is how much does the Blue Link service cost each month?

Sounds great Aaron. I hope you can arrive at 10:30 am at Cohoes Falls, and join our EV parade to the event start. Mike

Our biggest event of the year, for National Drive Electric Week! Event registration page and full details: National Drive Electric Week Event - Albany

What a great idea! I've been to the museum twice and it was terrific.

The event was terrific and here are some pictures taken at the outing, which boasted about 50 EV's during the course of the day. WNYT News Channel 13 was there filming and aired the segment that evening at 6:00 pm, 10:00 pm, and again at 11:00 pm!

Electric Auto Awareness Day 2014 - Saratoga Auto Museum The Albany Capital District EV Drivers will be holding an Electric Vehicle Lawn Show at the Saratoga Auto Museum. This is a great opportunity for the public to learn about and even experience electric automobiles in a beautiful park like...

That's sad and it's a huge waste as well. Really sorry that they couldn't find a better way for these cars to run their useful days out better than that. Mike

Thank you. It looks like a fun event too. Too bad it's not on Sunday!

Interesting! I would like to read the details of that event. Can you post a link to it please? Mike

Yes! I think it actually starts in Charlemagne though. It would be great if you could come out and join in on the fun. Otherwise I may be the only BEV running. http://www.smccrally.com/cgi-bin/template.cgi?todo=default&url=events/EconomyRun/2014/Flyer.htm This will be their fifth annual...

Excellent. That's exactly what I was hoping. I have not ever charged with them before so I did not know that they provided that information. There would have been no point in my participating in the event if there was no way to know how much energy was consumed. Thank you!

Have you guys ever given thought to these? car dolly jacks They would work nicely to quickly de- "ICE" any paved EV spot.

I am from NY and am planning on being the first EV to participate in the Sports Motor Car Club of Montreal's Economy Run Rally event next month with my Fit EV. I have gotten my LeCircuite Electrique charge card for the stations there. My question is do the Circuit Electric charging stations up...

I haven't heard anything Al. No mention of a ribbon cutting ceremony in this Times Union article either: Tesla revs up its superchargers - Times Union Mike

Yes indeed. :)

A friend of mine took this picture and talked to the installers last week. They said that the chargers should go live on Thursday. I believe there are six of these in all. I agree though, that the location they are in lends itself too well for ICEing though. I hope they paint the spots brightly...

Wow this is great news. I had not heard anything about it before today. No, I don't have a Tesla, but I love to see them on the road and having this nearby will increase my chances of doing so.

Yesterday I held the first drive event for my Capital District EV Driver's group, up to the summit of Mt. Greylock. This is the highest point in Massachusetts. We had five EV's participate. Two Fit EV's, two Leafs, and one Smart ED. Our first order of business was to drive over to Bob's...

The Capital District EV Driver's Group's first ever EV event went great and we had 31 EV's in attendance! The above picture even made it to the top of the Sierra Club's blog entry for the National Plug-in Day weekend recap. Al and Annabelle Smith's stunning new Tesla Model S was the crown...

On June 3rd I picked up my Fit EV from Keeler Honda. On that day I did not know even a single person in the Capital District that owned an EV. On June 24th I founded the Capital District EV Drivers Group on Facebook. There are now 31 members and it is growing every week. Our first meet is...

The Albany Capital District EV Driver's Group will be having their first meet up on National Plug-in Day, Sunday September 29th, at Guptill's Arena. I volunteered to be our region's 'City Captain' and started planning the event this morning. So far I've got the Latham Smart Center on board to...

I guess I should have introduced myself in the original post. My name is Mike Kamm and I'm currently driving a new Honda Fit EV. It was the first one in the Capital District and was delivered on June 3rd, from Keeler Honda. I work at Max BMW Motorcycles in Troy. Recently I...

Welcome! That's great news Al! Welcome aboard and glad to have you. I'm away in Myrtle Beach this week and I met up with Richard Williams of "Lowcountry Plug in Drivers in Charleston. I got to drive his Model S and loved it! I asked a family nearby to take this picture for us and...
