 While I hope Steve is not "retiring" he is certainly deserving of national recognition.  it has been his tireless and selfless dedication that has kept SEVA viable through all the ups and downs these last 28 years.  I second the nomination of Steve Lough for lifetime achievement award.

 Steve is usually the first contact with people looking for information about EVs. His phone number is available to the public and he kindly answers all kinds of questions about EVs.  That is how I got involved about two years ago.

 Steven Lough definitely deserves the Lifetime Achievement Award. I have been interested in EV's for sometime but only recently became a member of SEVA. Steve has been a dedicated proponent and mentor of all things EV answering questions and providing direction since the first time I met him. The work he does on behalf of EV's cannot be measured or defined but clearly contributes to a serious economic and environmental problem facing all of us in America and the world. I have tremendous respect for that kind of vision and dedication and selflessness. Congratulations Steve. You deserves the award.

 His favorite activity these days is to engage the public in the EV Debate through lectures, speaking engagements, radio and TV appearances, and just talking with anyone who will step forward with a question or two about EVs.   SEVA has put more  freeway-capable EVs on the streets of King County than any other entity, mainly through the conversion of existing Gas Cars into Electric Cars.
