Ep 15 - Sleepy Bear Cabin with Brandon Walsh

Zero E-Michigan

Overnight EV charging is super convenient and even better when you’re at a comfortable and secluded cabin in Up North Michigan. We talk to Sleepy Bear Cabin’s owner Brandon Walsh. He installed Level 2 charging with a Consumers Energy PowerMIDrive $500 rebate for his own use and now chooses to share the cabin with others by renting it out.

We also talk about Brandon’s journey to EVs including a Pacifica Hybrid, several Teslas including Model S and Model X vehicles plus his most recent acquisitions of a Rivian R1T and R1S.

If you’re looking for a secluded spot near Boyne Falls, Michigan with easy access to Petoskey, Charlevoix and even Mackinaw City, consider Sleepy Bear Cabin and spend more time relaxing and less time charging.
