Top hat optional.
The ghost of Gerry Garcia approves.
Matching leather required.
Just as a car interior should look.
Just got back from the VEVA REV show. My only regret is that I did not drive there on electric power. I brought the Charger in the back of the van. Next year electric all the way for sure.
The highlight for me would have to be driving the 1912 Detroit electric car which cost about $2000 new in 1912. Roughly $350 000 in today's dollars. It's still in original condition and runs perfectly. The original batteries were nickel-iron, very expensive, very heavy but durable and still hold a charge today but not enough for any distance so newer batteries now run it. The steering is by tiller! Push to go right pull for left. Charming to drive and the only noise it makes is the squeaking rubber of the wheels. Who could resist those leather seats?
Global and the CBC were there as well as some news papers so we will have to wait and see how much air time they give it.
It was great to see all the rides there and the e-bike guys were busy all day showing off their wares and giving demo rides.
Please go and sign the petition to mandate ZEVs in Canada. It's 100 years late!
