Revision as of 09:11, 16 November 2005
CalCars Founder Felix Kramer and Technology Lead Ron Gremban are driving North. [1] [2] [3]
Finally, folks in the Pacific North West got a "Hands ON - First Hand look at California Cars Initiative's "Prius PLUS" This Monday, 11/14. Felix Kramer, the founder of CalCars, and Ron Gremban one of their lead engineers, drove their 100 mpg Prius on to the court yard of Seattle City Light. With TV cameras blazing, and Radio Microphones on "RECORD" several dozen dignitaries and environmental types showed up for the press conference. Seattle City Mayors office was represented, along with City Light, the Mayors Task force on the Environment, City council members, Puget Sound Clean Cities Org., Seattle Electric Vehicle Association, and many more too numerous to mention.
Local media coverage was good, and very positive, but as always could have been longer, and more detailed.
After the News Conference, the car traveled to South West Seattle to South Seattle Community College, where one of the States largest Automotive programs is taught, and the students got a chance to see the car and ask more technical questions.
Then it was off to Wenatchee Washington in Eastern Washington for a conference to kick-start a Pug-In Hybrid program much like what Austin Texas is currently working on, where cars might be modified on a near assembly line like basis, for those who can NOT Wait for Toyota to create Plug-In hybrids off their own assembly lines.
On behalf of the Seattle EV Association, we sincerely Thank Felix and company for their visit to the Pacific North West, and wish them well in all their most important work.
