Ruh-roh! Electro's first towing!

My EV journey would not be complete without having at least one towing back home. My first was today, but not for the reason I had expected. I was out gathering distance/state-of-charge data to calibrate how far I could travel on a charge, then after taking a nice easy Sunday morning drive, at a stop sign the hairball shut down the motor controller with an error. I still had significant charge on the batteries after only 8.5 miles traveled, but was still stranded.

I called AAA and got Electro a tow home, and am currently trying to decipher the controller error problem.

Stay tuned!
