car update

We had the electrician look at the site where we want our 240V install. I am a little worried they won't be able to find the right spot to drill the garage wall, but I think it will work out. I think I have some basement rearranging to prepare, but they're not actually coming for the install until August 10th.

Really ran the car through it's paces this week and with the trickle charger, it had less than 60 miles of range left. So far, though, it's been performing well on range, which is nice after the c-max did disappoint with it's fuel milage. I've already put 800 miles on it.

I got some seat covers because leather seats are hot and sticky and it boggles my mind that people pay extra for them. I am still annoyed that we couldn't get a 1LT, but I am super happy that I got a bolt at all. I need to figure out if I can attach the straps for the seat covers with out them tangling in all the electric seat adjustments. Even without them strapped down, they have alread made wearing shorts during the summer so much better. I just hope they don't damage the OEM uplostery.

I exercised the van today and it was actually weird driving a gas car because I'd gotten use to the instant torque.
