Summer Hands-On EV Conversion Workshop Successfully Concluded

July 31, 2011 - We had a blast at our 3rd hands-on EV conversion workshop at the Middle Bucks Institute of Technology in Jamison, PA.  The 1990 Mazda Miata built in 6 days by a team of 10 students spun wheels before lunch on Friday, July 30 and rolled triumphantly out for a drive a little after 2 p.m. on the last day.

January 2, 2012: Promoting EV's over the last 5 years has been an amazing journey, but also a labor of love which must be set aside for the time being owing to other demands on my schedule.   

For the warm support of the members of the EEVC and the many other EV drivers and advocates I've met, for the wonderful students in our hands-on workshops who safely and joyfully worked together to build the e-Van and our Red Hot little Miata, and for the many cherished collaborators I've had the pleasure of working with and learning from -- I am truly thankful.
