Albany Capital District EV Drivers

Thanks for letting me know. I had the group in a private setting. I just changed it to public. See if it works now please.

My interest in EV’s started with the original anouncement by Nissan of the coming of the Leaf. But I was never crazy about the Leaf’s styling. So when the smokin’ lease deal appeared late last month for the Fit EV, I jumped on the only one in the capital district.

I took it to Lebanon Vallay last Wed. night. I wanted to check the 1/4 mile performance data that Car and Driver reported in their instrumented tests. They claimed a 16.8 @ 83 mph.

The only change I made to the car was to increase the tire pressures to 44 psi [max pressure rating on the sidewall of the Michelins.] I was able to better their elapsed time by quite a bit, but the mph was spot on.

I snapped this pic just after the finish line. :smiley:
