The third meeting of the EV1 club was again hosted in Diamond
Bar where Saturn, the AQMD and the California sun (solar panels are
also providing shade in the photo at left) worked together
to provide recharges to all electric vehicles in attendance,
including a few non-EV1's.
The featured speaker was Joe Kennedy (V.P. from Saturn) who
filled the club members in on Saturn's marketing effort. Reps
from Edison EV also updated everyone on the status of the charger
installation efforts and a representative from Ralph's
supermarket was present to invite EV1 members to the inauguration
of the first charger to be installed at their market (in Santa
Monica).
Friends & guests (see Janet, Dusty, and Douglas at right) were
invited to see what all the EV1 commotion was about. Saturn
brought along the EV1 road show, hosted a barbecue, and invited
everyone (including kids!) to take a ride in an EV1.
The EV1 road show includes the record-breaking Impact prototype (left). It looked considerably less plush than the EV1 on the inside, but I still would have taken a test ride in it, had someone offered!
