Electricfly at Windfall Ecology Festival - on eStreet!

June 12th - 13th, 2010, Electricfly will be on display at the Windfall Ecology Festival in Newmarket, Ontario!

It will be towed there by the Dodge Dakota Aerocap project truck!

At work today - I did some thinking on both ThunderSky Lithium Iron Phosphate Prismatic Cells, and 26650 cell types from another source, and both considerations look good! The target spaces are 1) - My existing Fuel Tank (Removed at conversion) Dimensions and location; and 2) the Firewall Battery location at present! (It could be my 'reserve' using the LiFePO4 26650 Cells from Alliance Renewable Energy! As would the ThunderSky Cells be sourced from!)

More soon to come!

Preperations for First True Public Showing!

Saturday, April 25, 2009 was the date that The Great Vehicle Adventure Show (GVA) was held here in the Toronto Area, at the Toronto congress Centre, Dixon Road & Highway # 27, in the North Building, A friend of mine suggested I bring and show my Electric Car there. So, finally, on Thursday, 2 days before the show, I called the Organizer, and she was happy to have me add my EV to the list of different vehicles to present there!

So - since I am not sure of the condition of my batteries right now - I decided to tow it there behind my Dodge Dakota Truck with the AeroCap on it.
The Bumper Ball I had, unfortunately had a 1" Shank and I had to run out and buy one with a 3/4" Shank to fit my bumper point. Also - the height of the bumper was higher than the pickup point on the cars front - so the triangle tow bar was slanted way up, giving me a bit of a concern, as I understood that it should be level, to allow the most variation in movement while traveling over dips and hills, etc., but it actually worked out OK.

My Wife (Lily) & I towed the electricfly over to the Toronto Congress Centre (TCC) Thursday night, so after work friday, I just had to go over and bring it inside. We dropped it off in the south parking, where security could keep an eye on it.
