[ausev] AustinEV Meeting - intro to EVs - Saturday, March 8 1-3pm

[KensCircus at aol.com]

Heidi and I are considering driving Tweety down to the library for the 
seminar.  Our thoughts are to plug Tweety in at the library as a demonstration that 
electric "fuel" is available anywhere.  Heidi is coordinating with the library 
management to do this.
But first we want to confirm that this will not conflict with the seminar.  
There are two convenient outlets available, but I assume they may be on the 
same breaker.  Therefore, I would assume only one vehicle will be able to charge. 
 With that said, we wanted to confirm wheather or not anyone was already 
planning to charge there.

Hi All,

Erik Bigelow will be doing the EV Intro talk/seminar again on March 8th at
Terrazas Branch Library from 1-3 pm.

http://www.austinlibrary.com/apllocations.cfm?acronym=atb

The goal of this free workshop is to cover
the basics of what is involved in an electric vehicle conversion.

Specific answers will depend on the details of your conversion, but
we're here to help frame the process and set realistic expectations.

Here's a list of some of the topics we'll hit - I'm sure there will be more:

Choosing a donor vehicle
Battery types
AC vs. DC systems
Safety
Keep the transmission? Clutch?
To use a kit or not?
Heat & A/C


Please RSVP to Erik directly at electricbasset at gmail.com, bring your
questions and we'll see you Saturday March 8th!
