Electricfly at the front of Eco-Wheels Show

Electricfly was there! Saturday and Sunday! May 29 - 30th, 2010!

As part of the show contingent, and supporting as well as representing the effects and results of the work of the Electric Vehicle Society of Canada, Electricfly was at  Toronto's 1st Annual ECO-WHEELS SHOW set in the unique Victorian backdrop of The Distillery District.

Again - I have not got all my pictures sorted out for uploading yet, so they will be added later!

Electricfly has a Capital Idea!

On Saturday, May 15, 2010, I took my electricfly up to Ottawa (Canada's Capital) to show and share at EVCO's EV EXPO 2010!

It was in interesting trip, and although I arrived late and registered in as #38 of a total number of 39 attendees, it was till worth it. for some info on the trip up - see my AeroCap Article in my other Blog.

I have had a few problems with my PC - so will get the pictures added in later as an update to this blog!

Electricfly Gets it Clear!

Monday saw my electricfly get new glasses, or - in fact, a brand new windshield!

It had been living with a crack some 40% of the way accross from lower right to nearly the mid point of the windshield, and - along the way - the corrosion and rust at the upper windshiled frame needed cleaning, so that got take care of at the same time, along with new Rust Limiting Primer along the edge and forward roof section!

Brian from Corporate Auto Glass took care of the removal, and replacement processes and did a very Fine Job of it!

Just one of the many things needed getting done to improve the appearance of the car, and continue with the refhinishing of the roof and other body panels. More notes and the Pictues to follow!

EV's & Cars at the Green Living Show!

Checking out the EV's & Cars at the Green Living Show allowed me to see some of what people are interested in, and what's being promoted!

Tesla's Roadster was there, at least 3 e-Bike stores, and - yes - the Chevy Volt (Mock up, non-driving model) was there! So - I talked with them to see if we could get the Volt for our Next EV Show - this fall, in October, but - instead was given a contact person to check this out with, and not much hope to go with it!!

Lots of Solar Panel Displays and Exhibitors as well - made a possible good contact there!!

Will Try to go again on Sunday, April 25th!

President Brings his Ford Ranger to EV Show & Shine BBQ

That is - the President of the Electric Vehicle Society of Canada - Howard Hutt; brings his OEM Ford Ranger EV to the Show!

It was one of the EV's made before 'They Killed the Electric Car!'

And - yes - it was made by Ford, as an OEM, and yes they used Lead Acid Batteries at first - smaller ones, but two layers thick - in a large tray that was bolted up - under the frame, and the Motor was in fact - between the rear wheels!

Howard, Thanks for bringing your Truck to our Show!
