     Examine currently available plug‐in EV of all kinds, plus an antique EV, and unique EV conversions

     Take test rides/drives in a Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi MiEV, Ford Focus, Tesla Model S, Ford Ranger, Th!nk City, electric scooters, plus unique EV conversions
     Talk to DTE, EV equipment and service providers about charging stations, plug‐in kits and EV charging programs.

    I did, talked to Will Smith, Pres. Motor City Motors (Converting Vehicles Off Fossil Fuel Since 2002)
    [email protected]
    he is a technician for Enginer, I told him I was interested in aftermarket battery but had no funds at the moment. HE said he would ask Jack Chen if he would install battery on a free trial, one month basis. stay tuned!:D

    I drove the PiP to the event here in Alameda, CA. Nice folks. Slightly bigger than a PriusChat meetup. The Big Show was in San Francisco, but I didn't go there.
