How long does it take to charge?','Nov 25, 2014 - Here's a quick way to find out how far you can roam round trip on a single charge. The example map shows a radius of 32 km centered at BCIT. This represents the reasonable range of a Nissan Leaf starting out with an 80% charge and with climate controls in full operation. Although the stated range of the car is 160 km, we have assumed a conservative 80 km, accounting for routing, hills and cabin climate control usage. We also assume no charging at all en route. If you do recharge en route, the Level 2 recharge time for the one-way 32 km trip is 1.5+ hours at 3.6 kW input (pre-2013 models) and 1 hour at 5.7 kW (2013 and newer models) and the energy cost is about 60 cents at 11 cents per kWh.','http://www.acscdg.com/','1','32km-bcit.jpg','left','1','2015-03-31' ); boxportal('','Port Moody Couple Forced to Move Because of Strata Ruling','Sep 3, 2014 - A Port Moody couple has been forced to move after their building’s strata corporation refused to let them charge their electric car, even though an electric outlet was right next to their parking stall.','http://bc.ctvnews.ca/no-charge-couple-forced-to-move-because-of-electric-vehicle-1.1987615','1','2014-09-17-outlet.jpg','','1','2014-10-27' ); boxportal('','Plugged in with Electric Cars','May 30, 2014 - Watershed Sentinel - Electric cars have all the right stuff when it comes to being green, but there's also the running cost - a small fraction that of gas.
