Electric car myths zapped in Everett-to-Spokane road trip
SULTAN — Randy and Anne Brooks have heard all the reasons people shy away from electric vehicles.
Short battery life, golf cart-like speeds — oh, and forget road trips.
The Chelan couple wanted to dispel each of those myths last week in a small Nissan Leaf electric vehicle — but especially that last one.
The “Charge Across Washington” event aimed to show the ability of even small battery-powered cars to cross the state on the “electrified” U.S. 2.
“You can do this now,” Anne Brooks said.
The trip started Wednesday at City Hall in Everett, where the couple picked up a letter from Mayor Ray Stephanson’s office to deliver to Spokane’s mayor the following day.
Along the way, they stopped for “Plug-In” events at electric vehicle charging stations to meet up with other e-vehicle owners and answer questions. Their first stop was at the Sultan Visitor Center. They also stopped in Skykomish, Leavenworth, Wenatchee, Waterville, Coulee City and Davenport.
