[To the EVDL]
Ed Thorpe posted that the East Bay EAA Chapter will participate at the Silicon Valley EAA Rally Sat. Sept. 25th 10a-4pm at Palo Alto High School. More details at http://eaasv.org/rally.html
There are lots of EV vendors shown at the bottom of that page. There may not be a new Leaf, or a Tesla on display, but there are sure to be some interesting EVs and other vehicles. Parking at PA HS is ample, and when full, the public walks from the shopping center across the street. Food and drink vendors will be there to satisfy your appetite.
The public can come attend for free. If you want to display, the SVEAA asks for a nominal fee to offset the cost PA HS requires to use their parking lot. If you are an EV business, it is a very cost effective way to 'get-known'. TV crews and other media usually do attend to document the EVent.
If you have not been to one of these, its usually worth your while to come for at least an hour, see what is new, and network with EV people. Though it is open 10a to 4pm, I feel the best time window is 11a to 2pm.
It always amazes me how so many people come just as the EVent is over and I have to tell them 'You missed a great show!'.
The public to come and see what is new, and its a good place to take the family so the kids can get introduced to EVs. There are usually Electric bicycles for the kids to try, and as part of the Rally, the public can get rides in EVs.
Bob Schneeveis usually comes with an interesting item. Whether is be a giant working tricycle with the front wheel the size of a Ferris wheel, to a Sheik's tent that he can drive around using a joy stick hidden under some Persian pillows with him and a couple of babes dressed in the poofy Arabian pants of old with the curvy pointed shoes and the gals with veils on. Once he brought a 2 wheeled solar powered EV with a seat that looked like it belonged on a front porch. That EV could spin like a top. Even a walking robot pulling a chariot was at the show one year. You never know what you will see.
I hope to be there to take more pics of kleenspeed.com 's finger-nail red Miyata EV conversion. It has a Li-ion pack, and a Curtis AC controller, with a PFC charger. Their EV business is EV components, so the conversion was only one example of how to use their products.
I hope to see you there
