Crossed the 30,000 mile mark

2010 ended with #140 crossing the 30,000 mile mark. Wow, how time has flown in the MINI E. As I've said before in this blog, I can't imagine a day where I go back to a gas powered car as my only vehicle.

In other news, as one who grew up in Washington State, I've enjoyed following the developments happening in Moses Lake, WA. Check out this article about the carbon fiber plant coming soon to Moses Lake.

This is an exciting time for electric vehicles and I'm thrilled to be playing a small part in BMW's move into the Megacity era.
