Next Meeting:
East Bay "EVs Are Alive" Rally
Saturday, August 23, 2008
10 am to 4 pm, setting up at 9am.
Rally Location: Chabot College, Hayward
Community outreach event, open to the public
Chabot College Automotive Tech Department will be hosting our annual Fall EV Rally in Hayward. Then, 2 weeks later, is the Silicon Valley EAA's annual EV Rally in Palo Alto. Both are great events to display EVs, from scooters and bicycles to Cars and beyond.
It's time to display our various EVs, from electric bicycles and scooters to
cars and pickups and other electrics. This event has plenty of space for
display, due to the large parking lots. We can easily accommodate members who
wish to drop-off the vehicles the night before, for charging, with 110v & 220v charging at the Chabot College Auto Shop.
We plan to display our EVs and provide rides, to expose the public to the positive attributes of EVs. The focus is on showing the variety of vehicles there are and how standard gas vehicles can be recycled into zero-emission vehicles. We also have opportunity to expose future automobile mechanics and current automotive instructors to the ins and outs of the EV, by talking and showing our vehicles to the Chabot Auto Shop students.
Directions: From I-880 (north or south), take highway 92 west towards the San Mateo Bridge. Exit at Hesperian (first exit), stay straight (north). Turn left at the first mid-block entrance to the parking lot, after the traffic light at Depot/Cathy. We will be staging in the staff area - look for the balloons and vehicles.
