There’s been a lot of MINI E activity for me over the last 24 hours.
1. Yesterday, I received an e-mail from Clean Fuel Connection, Inc. to request my availability for conducting the initial inspection for the Wall Box. The e-mail had three attachments:
- Process flow diagram of how the Wall box installation process will work. It was very straightforward and easy to read. No Earth shattering revelations.
- FAQ document that answered some basic questions. Good to know more about the potential lower EV rate for electricity I might get from the local utility. We’ll see.
- Clipper Creek CS Brochure which was a high level specification pamphlet on the wall charger. It confirms that we’ll need to upgrade the service out to the garage. Thankfully, we have plenty of juice available.
I e-mailed my availability for the inspections and hopefully I’ll get a call soon to schedule the actual time.
2. I received two tickets via snail mail to the New York International Auto Show being held April 10-19. They are exhibitor passess that MINI sent me so that I can go and see the MINI E live. The dates fall smack dab in the middle of my vacation, but I’m negotiating to adjust my schedule a bit so I can go to the show. It would be such a great opportunity to get a preview of my MINI E.
3. This morning I received another edition of Plugged In, the MINI E newsletter. It was briefer than the last one and provided updates on the inspections and also let us know that the actual cars are all on the West Coast waiting to be shipped out to their respective dealers.
That’s all for now. As always, I can’t wait to receive my MINI E and get motoring.
