Bio-Diesel, Ethanol,CNG, wind power, and solar power, and especially the vibrant movement toward Plug-In Hybrid cars will be discussed. Your instructor, Steven Lough, has been a leader in the Electric Vehicle field for over 29 years. His family GM Dealership took on a line of commercially built electric vehicles back in 1980. A handout listing resources for seeing, obtaining, converting, and repairing electric vehicles will be given to each student. Because things are changing so fast you may want to take this class over and over - every time it is offered. | ||
