[ausev] EV conversion future??

[John Brecher]

So, show me the Detroit "big Iron" EV store. Surely you don't think all this
flurry of hype means you will be able to soon buy something.
Maybe everyone has lost sight of what EAA is. It isn't to market but rather
the share info on how to build and drive EV's. I find since coming down from
Dallas that there is more interest here in "selling product" rather than
"doing things". I don't know if you have any projects going here. In Dallas
we were sponsoring 1 lawn tractor with RL Turner HS, 1 Ranger P/U at Plano
HS, 1 Metro at Richardson HS, 1 Ford 8N farm tractor at Bonham HS. Last year
we sponsored a Mazda B-2200 P/U and solar charging array at Bonham HS. We
had three members do "first drives" last year.
Maybe a refocus of direction is in order. Maybe I bring a new perspective of
direction. If not, I will ride into the sunset.
