Day 42 - And how often do you charge it?

This is a question I have been asked a lot recently when showing off my little Pepé to the curious and the nerdy. And unfortunately I don't have a proper answer to this question. What I have been waiting for is a typical week. But I haven't had too many of those since I got the car. I guess a typical week for me would be driving to train station on Monday and Tuesday, heading to Wexford on Wednesday, driving to train station on Thursday and Friday and then miscellaneous journeys on the weekend. The problem is that life hasn't exactly been following that pattern recently. Between bank holidays, annual leave, sick days and atypical weekend travel I have been following a most irregular
Astern (which is very unlike me let me tell you!) So when it comes to charging Pepé, well, it's been a matter of necessity. And like with my mobile phone, if I want to make sure that I have enough power for whatever may happen the next day, I have tended to charge him most nights, even if it was only for an hour or so.

But something has happened recently that has started to change my current charging pattern. No, not a normalisation of my week (I wish) but the availability to not one but FCPs near my home. If I needed to do a long journey at short notice and didn't have a full tank of petrol that wouldn't have been a problem. I'd just go to my nearest petrol station and fill up. But, up to this week I had no such option with Pepé. But with the new FCP in the Topaz in Glasnevin, and another in the Nissan dealership in Ballycoolin, I can now be assured that even with only small amount of charge available to me I could quickly charge up my car to it's full capacity in a short space of time, should the need arise.

So I hope, very soon, the answer to the above question will be, whenever I have to.
