Isn’t electricity made with coal?

Nope. Not here at Z3ro-G limo. Yes we have a charging station for the Tesla but no, it’s not powered by burning coal.

Here’s a picture of the fabulous crew from Sunsense Solar  installing more solar panels on the roof in 2016  . We’ve been solar since 2009 but with the Tesla it was time to add a few more panels.

You can see a few of the original panels to the right on the roof. Those are great during the summer but during the winter clearing snow off the panels isn’t that much fun so the new panels are mounted at an angle to take advantage of the sun in winter.

Oh, so close to 1 million… soooooo close…..

How does a Tesla Motor work?

Z3ro-G Limo

Continuing on the theme of frequently asked questions from my riders here is the in depth explanation of how an electric motor works. The quick answer to “is it more efficient?” is a resounding “Yes!” Just start with the rotary motion of an electric motor compared to the vertical (piston) motion which has to be converted to horizontal rotary motion and then take a look at how those regenerative brakes work…. oh my…. getting a little teary eyed here… sniff….

Fast Charge CHAdeMO

There are 2 places to get a fast CHAdeMO (charge de move)  in Aspen. This one is across from the airport. Check with plugshare

 

If it’s warm enough you can get a quick car wash at the AABC and then dry it off while charging.

This will give you about 130 miles in an hour.
