Dr. Jim Stevenson and the mayor of North Van presented Al Gore's slide show (not the movie.) The slide show is interesting because it was customised by Stevenson for local content. We also took the Revived Battery electric pickup, which was displayed outside Capilano College's theater, and seemed to inspire lots of young people, as you'll see in these video clips.

Here's a link to a video blog of what Jenny Kwan, Vancouver MLA and several citizens said about our electric pickup at the Mt. Pleasant Harvest Festival, where our EV was on display:

EV DIARY - Part Two- WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR COTTAGE INDUSTRY?

Everything here is just my opinion, my two cents worth, and my opinion could be wrong, too.

Did you see the movie, "Who Killed The Electric Car?" and wondered why the dozens of small electric car makers never became more successful? In fact, almost all of them bit the dust, or went belly-up! The notable exceptions include CANEV in Vancouver Island, probably because most of his business is for airport utility trucks, not cars. The other notable exception is AC Propulsion in California.

World's First, in Electric Cars, eh? Yes, in Vancouver

Who Killed the Electric Car? Well, in Vancouver, a small victory in reviving the electric car happened today!http://www.geocities.com/robert04mat/electric_pickup_truck.html

We've been using revived batteries successfully for electric bikes and scooters. Now, we have a 4-wheel electric vehicle that appears to be the first 4-wheeler to run only off "scrap batteries." By G. Tang and R. Matthies. First successful road run was on February, 2007, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
