Plug-In NCW in partnership with the Cascade Loop Association has arranged for three nationally published travel writers to drive the Cascade Loop in Nissan Leaf EVs. The writers were selected from a large number who applied after Plug-In NCW made a presentation at the NW Travel Writer Conference held in Spokane earlier this year. These writers will depart Wenatchee on Monday the 29th of September for a three day, 425 mile experience of natural beauty and technical excellence. Nissan, USA is providing three 2014 Leaf EVs for this EVenture. While the Leaf is not usually considered a long range vehicle the abundance of charging stations on the Cascade Loop will allow these neophyte EV drivers to make the trip with little anxiety and lots of time to take in the beauty. Seattle City Light does not anticipate completing installation of their two L2 chargers in time for this EVent so Plug-In NCW is delivering two haL2 (240V 70A) EVSE on Tuesday for temporary installation. Our units will be retrieved the following week as they are already scheduled for NCW host sites.
Steve Coram has contributed his vast experience in "long driving a Leaf" to plot out the course and set the charge times that our "no EV experience required" travel writers will follow. We appreciate his help in this effort and his contributions to electric vehicle adoption in Washington.
We believe it is accurate to state that the Cascade Loop is the first and only nationally recognized scenic drive to offer EV drivers charging opportunities along the entire route. For more information check out cascadeloop.com or pluginncw.com
