So, yesterday was the big
EVCO EV Expo, in Ottawa.
We almost didn't drag the car up there (100 KM) because it was bucketing rain in the morning. Fortunately it cleared up around 10:30, and turned into a great day. The forecast line of thunderstorms never showed up.
So, parked the car, put up the tent over the front end, popped the hood, disconnected the pack and spent the day answering piles of questions from a steady stream of people.
Got to have a better look at other members' vehicles too - including short drives in a converted Porsche 914, Ford Ranger pickup, and my favourite, a '98 Solectria Force (commercially produced EV based on a Metro sedan glider).
I was going to take pics, but couldn't find my camera in the morning. In particular I wanted to show you all the work we did in the motor compartment, but until I find my camera, you'll have to make do with this pic taken by someone else:
