[ausev] Resignation

[Carey King]

all,

I'm relatively new and visited with the folks at Witt's house last 
weekend for the first time. I'd hope everyone would stay around. I'm 
amazed by the depth of knowledge of the group. To me, the concept of EVs 
and PHEVs are more than a hobby level interest (I hope I can get more 
active in the future after securing some income in related or nonrelated 
areas), and if battery technology gets cheap enough, we'll have a lot of 
people poised to take advantage in some way whether working for relevant 
companies or whatever. I've already learned a lot just from the 
discussions. I personally think powering transportation via any method 
that generates electricity (including fossil fuels) is a powerful 
concept. I hope it becomes more capable in the future.
