Hi Everyone,
This meeting will be a technical session focused on designing battery boxes for the Chevy LUV conversion project.
Saturday, 11 February 2012 at 10am.
The location will be:
Brandstatt Brothers Shop
27 Rose Ave., Chico, CA
We will be using lithium batteries for this project so the design will be interesting to see. Also you will be able to see the design of the coupling and adapter plate used to connect the 9″ GE motor to the LUV bellhousing and trasmission.
As you can see from the date for this meeting, we have changed to a once-a-month meeting schedule. We will be meeting on the second Saturday of each month at 10am. Please join us and bring a friend.
See you this Saturday at 10am.

We will have our first Electric Car Club meeting of the year this Saturday, January 14 2012 at 10am. The location will be at:
27 Rose Ave., Chico, CA (Brandstatt Brothers Shop).
This is your opportunity to come and choose meeting topics for 2012. We really want to hear your ideas for future meetings. Having more electric cars on the road is very important for the well being of our country. So please come and tell us how we can get people excited about owning and driving electric cars.
The second part of our meeting is “hands-on”. We are going to begin the conversion of a Chevy LUV pickup from gas engine power to electric motor power. Bring your work clothes and help strip this vehicle down to the basics. If you just want to watch, that’s great too. Our goal is to get this pickup running on electricity by summer.
See you this Saturday at 10am.
