Mike Brown and Shari Prange are owners of Electro Automotive
 
(www.electroauto.com), founded in 1979 as a parts supplier for home
 
built electric vehicle conversions. Mike Brown had many years of
 
experience in automotive service and repair, engine building, and race
 
car building before turning exclusively to electric conversions. He and
 
his wife Shari Prange co-authored the book "'Convert It", which has long
 
been the primary how-to reference book for conversions. They have taught
 
many electric vehicle classes and workshops, written for "Home Power"
 
magazine, and now serve as transportation editors for "Home Power".
 
Other members of the Seattle EV Community will also be present
 
to aid in the process.

Hand Outs for New EV Owners you meet

A three page hand out to be given to folks with an Electric Car, who do not know of us... SEVA I have been giving them out for over a year, and it brings folks to us...

Sorry all three documents can't be just posted right here. But one is a .doc, one is a .pdf, and the third is a .jpg So here they are for your own Down-Load and reproduction. I put the "letter of Thanks on TOP, followed by our generic SEVA hand out, and last, the EAA Membership application, in a tri-fold, and give them out where ever I see a fresh new Tesla, or Leaf, or "Mi-EV" or Ford EV, etc:

I also like the IDEA of a kind of Generic SEVA/EAA business card.. I will be looking round for some kind of EAA Template.

Here are the LINKS:

I've double checked the links, and they are all up and Downloading.

One other very good idea, is to print up some of these and give them out to our local "Cracker Jack" EV Dealers !! Have them give one pack out to each and every new EV Customer.
