With ‘Dog Mode,’ I can bring Indigo with me around town and know that she’ll be nice and cool in the car. When I’m not running errands with my dog, I’m driving my daughters’ club volleyball carpools around Northern California. This spring, I drove the teams over 2500 electric miles, greatly decreasing my fossil fuel consumption and thus, my carbon footprint. I was able to fit 4 players and their luggage, and we travelled to Reno three times, with a quick 30-minute lunch stop to charge on the way. Annika Osborn, Sun Valley Neighborhood.
