Returning to Florida

Went the best route back but found 81 in Pennsylvania lacked chargers so ended up using Nissan’s one year free service when your car runs out of charge. Paid $250 out of pocket as the service sent me in the opposite direction and would have lost 30% of my charge should I went in the opposite direction. Don’t you love computer services? Then the station only allowed a 1 hour charge on a slow charger at the site plus parking fees.

Investigating further I found a spot 50 miles down the road in the appropriate direction which had a fast charger. I made arrangements with a tow company and they lowered their rates from $400 to $250 for the service. Nice touch. Had called my AAA but they only cover a 3 mile tow – what a waste of an annual fee. I guess AAA only is good for Disney tickets and even that I can find cheaper than AAA.

So, met accommodating service station folk, and a pleasant tow truck driver out of the debacle and am hopeful the Nissan service folks will come through with reimbursement. Once in florida I have my home charger done and ready for use. My days of traveling long distance are officially over.

Gotta laugh.
