The first Hamilton Nissan Leaf Silent Cruise took place
September 1st. The event brought out 7 Nissan Leaf owners. We had
about an hour to charge and share tips and tricks to get the best of our cars.
The weather could have put a dent in our plans if it rained,
but we were lucky and made it with just some lite showers.
The cruise stared at the Wentworth Arena in Hamilton. There
are 10 Sun Country chargers installed at this location making it easy to handle
a good number of electric vehicles. Everyone topped up for the 30 KM trip to the
Tim Horton’s in Oakville one of the first Time Horton’s to get a charger
installed. This is also the head office for Tim Horton’s.
We decided as a group to take Dundas across. As the parade
of Leafs left the Wentworth Arena people in other cars could not help notice the 7 identical cars traveling in a convoy. The only challenge was keep the
group together as traffic lights left a few Leafs behind. We also had other
cars change lanes into to our parade.
It was a lot of fun and maybe might have
brought some attention not only to the Nissan Leaf, but to electric cars in
general. At one point in our trip we came across a Tesla Model S whose owner might
have gotten a kick of seeing a whole bunch of electric cars on the road.
It was a fun event and I look forward to having another one
maybe in spring.
