Also posted this in regional discussion...not sure where it belongs.


I received the following email earlier this week from IPS (Innovative Power Systems).

Solar and Electric Cars at the Living Green Expo!
Living Green Expo: May 7-8
This weekend Innovative Power Systems hosts a solar car charging station at the Living Green Expo. The 18-panel, 4.23 kilowatt array provides enough power annually to support any of the new electric vehicles hitting the market this year. As a Gold-level sponsor we'll have a booth inside the exhibit area and at the new EV test track.

This year you can test ride in the new Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Tesla Roadster, and more at the EV test track. The Living Green Expo will be located in a new area of the State Fairgrounds in St. Paul. For more information visit the Living Green Expo website.

While the email claims they will have a Leaf, the website only lists the following:

Featured Vehicles

* Chevrolet Volt
* Ford Transit Connect Electric
* Tesla Roadster
* 2011 Toyota Highlander
* Ford Escape
* ReGo Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid conversion (Gen 2 and Gen 3)
* Ford Focus electric conversion
* Chevrolet Corvette electric conversion
* Zero DS electric motorcycle
* Zero X electric motorcycle

I'll be there this morning to check it all out.
