David had always been a collector. As a kid, he collected patches from police and fire departments. Later, he wore one, along with a shiny metal badge to go with it. But, that too was
years ago. Now, he was retired and had a collection of EVs. He made it as far as Assistant Chief, and came away with a very good pension. Plus, he picked up some odd consulting work. He wasn’t rich by any means, but he had enough to pursue his hobby of collecting early EVs.
He decided to take one of his quirky air-cooled EVs out on a drive today: his all-original 2011 Nissan LEAF.He wanted to take it out to visit one of his buddies from his public service days, who now owned a convenience store a few hours away. Braydon had recently put in all new charging stations, and David convinced him to keep one old station running, for old times sake. Today, he was going to drive out there, charge the car, get some scans of it for the ‘Gram , and then drive it back home.
So, they grabbed a few photos and 3D videos, and then unplugged the car. David opened the back hatch, pulled out his CCS4 adapter, and set the car to charge on one of the new stations.“Can’t make any promises that my son’ll honor that. He’s taking the business over next year.”An older woman was sitting down to eat when her wife came into the room, handing her a set of neural aids. “There’s a really good braincast out today about the last old air-cooled car to charge up.” she said.
Oh, and when they stopped making those. Yes, that’s right, they didn’t keep them up because there weren’t new stations for them and the new standard had taken everything over. What year was that? Oh yeah, she remembered now. Or was it on the braincast? Oh, well, doesn’t matter. She knew the year now.
