About 6 months ago my cousin invited us to her wedding. In Geneva. In August.
The bad news is that we are going to Europe at the worst possible time, when it is hottest and crowded.
The good news is that my parents are going as well and paying for our flights!
Since we are going allllll that way, we might as well stick around for a few more weeks to see some of the sights, right? Christine and I have wanted to go to Italy ever since we saw Life is Beautiful (a bit morbid I know), and...

Some background on EV charging; there are 3 types of chargers, Levels 1-3. Level 1 is a trickle charge, like you'd get if you plugged the car into a standard 110V outlet. It takes ~30 hours to charge our car from one of these. Level 2 is a 240V outlet, like an oven or a dryer. This is what we have at home and it takes 9-10 hours to charge Leaf fully (from empty). Then there are Level 3 chargers. They charge the Leaf to 80% in only 30 mins. These are the types of chargers you want to use...
