08-02-2008 Guest Speaker at Auguest SFEVA meeting


The August San Francisco EV club meeting was focused on conversions, and Dale Miller asked me to talk about this project.
The meeting had a great turnout - people came from as far as Sacramento.
There were two guest speakers other than myself, and we each has our own agendas. The first speaker talked about solar power being going hand in hand with electric cars, I talked about the benefits of conversion kits and the need for kits on later model cars, and the last speaker talked about the beauty of a simple truck conversion. There were a surprising number of really good questions from the group - obviously a lot of people there were seriously considering a conversion and were deep into the research phase.

03-29-2008 EV Miata interview on KFOG Radio


Peter Finch from KFOG came by to do a short piece on my Miata project and my neighbor's veggie oil burning Mercedes diesel. It's short, but I think it gets the message across that regular people can do something rather than wait for the auto makers to build alternative fuel vehicles. It's due to broadcast for a week, but you can listen to it on KFOG.com at the link below:

A longer version of the interviews is found in a "The Beat of the Bay" show on people having "Ah Ha!" experiences:
