I left the San
Jose area on Friday arriving in San Luis Obispo.
SLO his is a College town |
Doing a quick tour of the campus ... |
... the day before the EVent is beautiful
after the rain, |
but there are many sources that will change
that |
04/10/01
Saturday morning was wet, cold, windy, raining,
and the EVent signs were blowned down, but with
persistance, I found the EVent |
JB drove using his gen2 VW
pusher. |
His pusher was parked separately |
rain or shine ... |
... the pusher works fine |
I caught up the CalPoly crew ... |
... they were considering cancelling |
JB had tried to run his cord to an outlet,
but there were none near the parking lot |
Even in the rain ... |
... we wanted to see under the hood |
We headed over to the display area, where we met
the other half of the team staying dry |
JB drove his Porsche up onto the sidewalk and
into the display area |
The covered building front ... |
was perfect for displaying EVs |
A local Ford Ranger EV came and displayed |
Cords were run to use both 120VAC outlets |
A SLO Corbin Sparrow driver came ... |
He had chosen the 120VAC 30amp NG3 charger |
His wife said he could buy the Sparrow ... |
if he bought the purple one. |
Royce Chow
in his
'Divot' nEV |
He recently up graded the battery pack |
96VDC pack with direct drive |
The stealth Escooter was on hand, |
with an interesting cabling method |
Ready to slip and slide |
in the rain |
A southern California gen2 EV1 driver attended (a
rare sight) |
A 70's citi car is still zipping around SLO |
An onboard K&W BC-20 charger |
An interesting quick charging port |
It has an AC inlet on the passenger side |
'Divot' was giving hot-dog rides |
12 noon was the end of the show, and people were
heading to lunch |
You'd be smiling too if you were one of the lucky
few EV1 drivers |
The sleath scooter was still darting all over the
parking lot |
1st SLO Bank EV charging is stll on |
As I head back I saw the Paseo Robles oil fields
feeding the ICE machine |
King City has RV access, a good EV recharging
spot. |
