NDEW - Huntington Beach "Plug Into Excitement"

[ISQRDR]

Boasting 250,000 sq. ft. of event space, larger than 4 football fields, and already more than 40 corporate and company exhibitors, it is poised to be one of the largest Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) events in the country, if not the world. Attendance is conservatively forecast at 20,000, it could easily be double that. There will be more than 20 automobiles to drive, there are even global debuts on tap!
But this is not just an automobile exhibit, there will also be electric bicycles and skateboards to ride, electric surfboard demos and exotics, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and buses will be showcased. Of course there will also be special guests.
Talk to representatives from the utilities providers, photovoltaic manufacturers and installers, EV supply equipment manufacturers, public charging station companies, conversion and after-market product manufacturers and retailers. California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) will have a booth to answer rebate questions and Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation is exhibiting to discuss their involvement in CleanTech and Advanced Transportation. Hyatt Regency, Motivo, Exhibit Options and Hydra are partners on the expo.
It is a family event, bring the kids to have their own experience including bounce houses, electric RC plane demonstrations and other entertainment. Arrive in a PEV and receive VIP parking. There are contests, giveaways and more PEV information than you will be able to process in one day.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this fine event. It would be interesting to get a statement from our state government as to plans to implement the "Electric Highway" along I-5 and CA-99 (and other major routes) with L3 stations.

Nice 40A Leviton Locked Off and not available for charging Honda Fit EVs unless (grudgingly) while being serviced ... and then they can't find the key to turn it on and car doesn't get charged anyway.... my favorite 'you know you've bought a compliance car' story ...
