The Austin Area Electric Vehicle Association (AustinEV) crew spent the afternoon showing a selection of the club members' cars to interested attendees at the University of Texas Sustainable Business Summit. At this show we were excited to be able to offer clean, silent, all-electric rides to the attendees in Rob Hirschfeld's Rav4, Claire Sorenson's factory Ford Ranger and Erik Bigelow's VW Cabriolet. Scott Mauer also brought his brand new EVT America R-20 scooter for people to look at. Austin Energy was kind enough to bring their Prius Plug in Hybrid and Alien Scooters brought along an array of electric scooters, including the 65mph capable Vectrix electric scooter.

In addition to the electrics, attendees also got to look at and ride in an experimental Hydrogen Fuel Cell powered bus, a veggie oil VW Jetta, an LNG car, and several Toyota hybrid models.

It was a small, but interested group of informed people who had good questions for us to try and answer. It was a beautiful day on campus and we were thrilled to be invited to show our cars at a local event. Along with the cars that were able to attend, additional thanks go out to Christopher Robison for organizing the AustinEV display, and to Aaron Choate, Mark Richert, and Tanda Rasco for lending a hand, answering questions and looking knowledgeable..
