Many thanks to SEVA Secretary Kevin Boze for the meeting minutes!

+

SEVA Meeting Minutes: April 8, 2014, –Called to order. Officers introduced. 34 persons in attendance.

+

1. RECAP OF EVENTS – TRED event held. Many people attended TRED “virtually,” 

+

NORTH SOUND EAA MEETING in Mount Vernon had 

+

a “surprising” number of attendees, thus launching a new EAA chapter. SIERRA CLUB had an 

+

event at Bastyr College, rated a “great success” by those present. WILD HORSE WIND FARM 

+

held an event, which has 50-amp outlets available for charging. The wind farm is also available 

+

for tours! EASTSIDE EXPLORATORY MEETING had more than 30 attendees, sharing lots of 

+

information and ideas about how EV advocates might form their own presence in the Issaquah 

+

area.

+

2. SEVA SERVER CRASH – About three weeks ago, SEVA’s crash resulted in our website going 

+

away, and disrupting the email list. If you haven’t heard from SEVA lately, that’s the 

+

problem. It is being repaired. If you are not on the email list, send a note to our President at 

+

hpev.llc@gmail.com and he will personally add you. You can Google “SEVA Email List” as well to 

+

find the Google Group or visit this link directly: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/seva_list

+

3. UPCOMING EVENTS – Earth Day is coming up on Saturday, April 19th

+

Newcastle event at Lake Boren Park. There are many events in connection with Earth Day, 

+

and it semi-officially kicks off “Car Show Season”. You are encouraged to check out the event 

+

calendar online for all the newest information.

+

4. XXX ROOT BEER ALL-ELECTRIC SHOW – May 11th This is going to be our big chance to show 

+

our stuff at one of the premier car-show locations in Washington State. It is very important that we 

+

have an accurate count of people who want to show cars or attend, so please register your car 

+

as soon as possible. Don’t delay! http://driveelectricweek.org/event.php?eventid=123

+

5. LEGISLATIVE NEWS – There is a national effort to pressure New Jersey to reverse its stance and 

+

allow Tesla to continue to do business in that state. SEVA has a new Legislative Issues Coordinator, John McCoy.

+

Many thanks to Jeff Finn who previously held that position and has done so much for SEVA and EVs in 

+

Washington State! John McCoy announced that he is going to Olympia this Thursday April 10, to support

+

a potential $600 rebate that Pugest Sound Energy would offer customers who install EVSE!

+

6. BMW E3 ON THE SCENE! Pat shared the information on the conversion project done 

+

by his students. The 2001 BMW that resulted was gleaming out in the parking lot for the membership 

+

to see and is one of the fanciest conversions around. Well done! 

+

Pat’s goal is to break the High School drag race record.

+

Meeting adjourned to break-outs at 9:00.
