My understanding from their director, Joel Serface, is that the $15 is waived for anyone who drives there in an EV.  

I have not asked about recharging on site - would that make a difference for anyone?  Past events have been at the MCC, but I've been told that they are moving to City Hall.  If it's Downtown, then there are willing outlets at my house if needed.

In other news! 
* The RAVolt has been behaving very nicely as a daily commuter.  
* I'll drive the RAVolt to our 9/8 meeting.  
* I've applied to exhibit at the MakerFair (MF). 
* They are planning to do a LIVE PHEV conversion at the MF
* Joel Serface trying to get a PHEV kit for his Prius and may want some help from us with the conversion (if they can't do it at the MF)

As always - there's more on my blog: RAVolt.com
