The 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon originally converted during the 2007 workshop was re-converted
by the 15 automotive technology, physics teachers, mechanics and environmentalists who participated in the June, 2009 workshop. 

Check out a few of their EV grins as they take their first drive in the rolling e-Van!
