Squirrel our Minicab Miev is on the market via trademe<\/a>\u00a0so may not be ours for much longer. We have plans for a bigger van with longer range so that we can continue our travels into our dotage.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I have been meaning to write this most banal post for quite a while, so now is the time to do it.<\/p>\n

While waiting the 20mins to 60mins to charge the van, I try to keep busy, so right from the start I have posted on Plugshare a picture of Squirrel charging at every fast charger we have used on our travels. A lot of these are closer to Wellington in the North Island, and are nothing special to us. But the majority of them are in the South Island,visited on our 3 trips south in Squirrel. If I am feeling keen I will also leave a Google review of the charger, along with a picture of Squirrel charging. One of these photographs has been viewed over 36,000 times!<\/p>\n

So if you are interested, here is a list of chargers we have photgraphed Squirrel at. Starting in the far south at Curio Bay and working our way up to Picton.<\/p>\n
