Saw a sunlight pillar and sundogs Friday morning as I drove to college, around sunrise.

It's been years since I've seen light pillars. I was driving on a twisting mountain road at night and saw every street light, even cell phone tower strobes, projecting pillars from an overlook. I texted a picture to a meteorologist from there. It was amazing.

Soooo neat. I was looking around the other day and remembering your area. :)

That's so cool! I've heard of the phenomena before, but never seen it.

That's really pretty!

woow interesting!

Some call them light pillars, others call them I/O towers...
Maybe we're both right? :P

In any case; pretty pretty lights! :D

oh how cool!!!

Absolutely lovely shot. Say, how does your E-car survive winter time?

Range goes down, summer often do 220km, winter more down to 170km. High speed charging is slower when battery is cold, does not get 45kW when battery is below 10c, but going on a longer trip, battery generally gets up to 10c, and then charging is fast. We drove it to the cabin in part sub zero rain and part snow up and down hilly roads, and it is about the best car I have ever driven for this (no, it is not a 4WD-SUV thingie). Having a 300kg battery does something to the stability :) The remote controlled pre-condition is so lovely, and no matter how cold it is, engine starts without any issue.

The i3 is not a highway car though, if you drive a lot on the autobahn, you should probably consider something with a more aerodynamic shape, like the Ioniq.

My smart electric motion fortwo is planned to arrive on January 24th - it has not serious range whatsoever but, oh boy, what a fun car to drive

Nice! Did you get the speed-charging type? In Norway, that's the only one that really sells here.

it was not yet available when I ordered. So it's only 11kW for me. Should be still good enough. After all, the car has a max distance of 160km (more like 10km realistically). I admit, you guys planted the seed to buy this little cart

Awesome! :D <3

I think 22kW is max for this car, 11kW still is great for a car that size. The car has a 16kWh battery, so 11kW charger should fill it up in less than 1.5 hours. In that sense, you can go on a 200km drive if you have an hour to spare and a 11kW charger on the way :)

Electrics are so fun, I am NEVER going back to gas :)

The way you talked about your car in Stockholm was really what made me wish for an e-car. That AND that you made the whole distance with yours.

Now I clearly understand that I'll be driving a town car for the next three years. But mind you, we still have the Pickup for hauling the horse trailer (still an issue with e-cars) and to go longer distances. But I can't wait to see the progress done in the upcoming three years

"That AND that you made the whole distance with yours."

Oh, thats nothing. We are going to Netherlands in a few months :)

Our view tonight, it's -30 right now with that dusting of ice in the air ^.^
