JANUARY 28, 2025 | MY RIVIAN ADVENTURES | ELK ISLAND NATIONAL PARK |
TRIP: Drove 716km... So yesterday, I had a spontaneous idea that I should take a drive to Elk Island National Park and to see if I can take some photographs of Buffalos. I quickly packed some of my camera gear and was on the road in a record time :) This was my fist time charging at a Tesla Supercharger with Non-Tesla vehicle, using an adapter. It was a very simple process, plugged in and was automatically charged to my credit card, didn't have to do anything else. |

Charged next to Tesla Cybertruck.. Not a fan.. I think they should have at least made it larger. |

On my way I decided to stop at a few different charging stations so I would know where they are and how good the location is for my future trips this way. |

Went for a little walk in the park.. as you can see there were not very many enthusiasts there :) |

Just when I pretty much gave up on seeing any wild life, I did spot a buffalo :) |

On my way home I was rewarded with a pretty nice sunset. |

Driving electric cars for over 7 years, I don't have "range anxiety" but this was as close as it gets. Arrived to this charger with 0 kilometres left and actually drove for 4.5 km with it showing 0... To be fair, the car did tell me that I'm not going to make it before I started to drive... Lesson here people, always listen to your car and you will be all good! |
