[Caevlist] The irony

[Rob Upson]

Hello.
Introducing myself as a new member to the list.
Our family just moved back to Oregon this summer after ~20 years in the US Virgin Islands where we owned a 2015 Nissan Leaf for 5 years. That math is correct: our vehicle was sitting at a dealer lot in Puerto Rico unsold for one year. On St. Thomas I co-founded a chapter of the Electric Auto Association.
We are an EV-only household now.  We took our first overnight trip to the coast this past weekend and can happily report that charging stations at the Waldport Inn and the Yachats City Hall/Community Park are both in working order.
I look forward to meeting the EV community in the Corvallis area.

Yesterday, I went out to the coast to meet up with a friend from Tacoma who's camping out there.  After we had dinner and hung out for a while, he was going to come and stay at my place on his way to Bend...until the low fuel light came on and we discovered all the gas stations around lincoln city were closed.  From previous experience, he didn't think he could make it to Newport (where there's 1 24hr station) and AAA couldn't get anyone to come give him a bit of gas or even a tow, so he was stuck there overnight...
