 Then Matt, a new member, brought his 88 VW Vanagon complete with 26 12V batteries, and an Asure AC Drive system and a new paint job.  He runs it in 3rd gear, and has a lot of regen control.  Great new addition to our SEVA group.  I’m not sure his wife knows that the total conversion is close to $19.5 K (ouch)
-Bruce Sherry, and Rich Rudmand are working on a new generation of Battery Management Modules, which will be able to keep tabs on individual Li-Ion Cells, and talk to the charger and visa versa.  Real HIGH TECH.

 I guess Bill Dube of Killacycle FAME is working on a high powered 12V starting battery for Big Diesels, made up out of A123 cells.  We wish them all well.

		+	What a wonderful Warm EV-ening. Lots of new folks brought their EVs for show-n-tell. Sending this out to some of our new members as well, who may or may not be on our SEVA e-mail list yet... ( enjoy )
		+
		+	Two of our most honored guests were Danielle and Martin from the Clean Energy Expo ( 9/9/07) and Bruce and assistant, from the King County sponsored EV-ent “Clean Vehicles NOW” 9/19/07) Both organizations would like to have as many SEVA members show their cars as possible, and have waived all fees. So it is a chance to see and BE Seen for FREE.
		+	I am to compile a list of folks who can show. Write me if you can attend, and I will forward to you instructions and details. Lets really TRY and make these two EV-Ents…

		+	Jake Oshins has his yellow Sparrow back on the road. Congratulations. The meeting went by so fast, we did not get a chance to ask him what it took, or what the reasons were. Perhaps after Jake reads this POST, he could let us all know. Congratulations on regaining your EV Grin.
		+
		+	Many new folks. Some wanting to convert a full size pick-up, others wanting to build an electric 3 Wheeler, others just wanting to know where to get a free way capable EV.
		+
		+	We encourage all of you to attend as many of these up-coming Events as possible.. Wear the SEVA colors, help answer questions, rub elbows with the “ high and mighty” Spread the good word.
