Another Step Closer

Well, Step 2 is complete. I just had my electrical inspection today and I’m go for launch. It turns out that 150A service is sufficient and my circuit box will allow a breaker to be split so no additional box is necessary. The charging station will mount right beside my existing box.

Now I have to double my efforts at cleaning out the garage. I’ve gotten about half of the garage cleaned out. I still have several trips to Goodwill ahead of me. It’s great that they recycle unusable electronics and reuse the reusable. I figure I have about another month before the car arrives.

The next step is for BMW to approve the electrical work and send me a contract to sign allowing the work to be performed. This will be followed by whatever my town requires regarding permits and inspections.

In the meantime, MINI invited me to a get together in New York on May 13 to get better acquainted with the car. What I’m really looking forward to is meeting the other people crazy enough to participate… I mean eager to be pioneers for the MINI E Field Trial.
