Want to create a new EVent! First click "Current Events" at the top of any events page. Once there, just click on any of the dates in the "wiki calendar" below to begin creating a new page! Start the page with (Just copy it now and paste it when you create your page):
{{EVents}}[[Category:EVents]]
== Short Name for EVent ==
Your event details and description text goes here.

Next simply add whatever details and links you like to the page. Use the Show preview to see what you have created and finally click Save page and you are done. You and anyone else can edit the page later to add more details. The new EVent page you help create can grow more detailed, after the event photos can be added or accounts of how the event went. All of this will be archived for future generations to see what kind of amazing fun we have had, heck go check out some past EVent pages now (Tip: Click on any pages edit link to see how easy they are to create).

If there are more than one event on a given day, then make the == Header == at the top of the page include a short description of both events so that they will both appear in the summary for that day. Then create two or more === Sub Headers === (Notice the 3 = signs instead of 2) for each separate event on that day.

{{EVents}}[[Category:EVents]]
== First EVent & Another EVent Also ==
=== First EVent ===
First Event details and description text goes here.
===Another EVent Also===
Details for the another event also go right here.

You can also add ==== Sub Sub Headers ==== for an event if there is a lot of information for that event, perhaps someone might want to add a ==== Photos ==== section. The simplest way to add photos is to upload them to the site (you may need to ask for an account to do this). Take a look at the Photos page for a list of EVents that had photos added.

Then just list them in a gallery block.

Additional [[Category:]] tags can be added to the top of the page, we do not use many categories at the moment, but they help to organize pages and help visitors find related pages. For example there might be a Tesla Category and any event with a Tesla at it could have the Tesla category.


2008 SEVA Rally

See the #SEVA Range Rally Results and the bottom of the page.

Where: Everett Washington
When: May 10th-11th

This is the first annual Electric Vehicle distance rally and will be held at Interstate Battery (All-Battery) at 727 134th St SW, Everett, WA. The event will be held from 12pm noon on Saturday until 8pm Sunday.

The main routes will be round trip loops north and south on I-5 (55 mph speed minimum). Surface street routes will be available for slower vehicles (non-freeway capable, NEV, etc…). All EVs and hybrids are welcome to attend for display to the public.

Charging will be available starting at noon on Saturday. Please call if you have special needs for charging.

The competition will be to see who can go the farthest total distance on a single charge. This will also give us the opportunity to document REAL WORLD performance data. There will be at least two prizes awarded:

  • $250 – Farthest distance for a Lead-Acid EV (class 1 vehicle*)
  • $250 – Farthest distance for any battery chemistry EV (class 2 vehicle*)
  • Other prizes may be added for other categories or types of vehicles as award money is donated. Hybrids may have their own co-event. *Motorcycles/scooters may have their own co-event.
