Elk Grove is fine, but the 16th is a long weekend - likely to impact attendance!

I'm afraid I have chauffeur duty again for my teenager - sounds like I'll miss a good meet-up! Hope you guys have fun!

Are we supposed to respond/sign-up for the Dec 1st meeting at the Fuel Cell Partnership?

Sorry folks, I'm afraid I'm going to be MIA on this one - have fun!

Can't do Sunday - gotta be at a lacrosse tournament for my teenager. Saturday the 10th would work. Sorry!

Sorry folks - was asleep at the wheel (that quiet electric motor is so soothing... :lol: ) I'll be there as well, just may have to leave a little early...

Thanks, tbleakne ! Allowing someone to unplug my car as long as its charged makes sense - hopefully I won't come back at 11pm to a partially charged car! I think the spaces are going to be the bigger issue - only 1 spot is marked as EV parking, so if the adjacent ones are taken by ICEs, then...

How does this work in practice? I usually leave for 3-4 day trips - if I park in one of these spaces, plug my car in, then it becomes unavailable for days, even though my car will be done in a few hours. I'd hate to do that - seems so inefficient! Anybody else use the Sac airport chargers yet...

6/18 works for me - may not make it for the whole day, but will try. See you all then! Thanks for coordinating this, George!

I helped to organize the first gathering in Elk Grove, and the main theme of that gathering was to share information among the owners, and (back then) the patient wait-listers, so the gathering at a dealer then moving to a restaurant worked well - people who came from farther away could leave...

Take a look at this: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/03/google-installs-a-wireless-ev-charging-station/ May be too expensive for home charging, but what a great way to charge at a restaurant/retail establishment, or even a gas station...

I know several of us can do Roseville, but a few people came from Central Valley and will at least have to charge before they go back, I imagine. I know Roseville has some great restaurants, and we can probably find one with a separate (quieter) room we can use (like Crush 29). Personally...

Since we had such a great time last time, its time to plan our second outing. Does everyone want a repeat (meet at EG Nissan, plug in as needed, carpool over to BJs) or would that be too predictable/boring? Saturday again? In April? I know a couple more people have their cars now, and have...

I heard back from Schneider - they are still "working on a list" of approved contractors, but said this link http://products.schneider-electric.us/support/technical-library/?event=detail&oid=09008926806a06b9&cat=0b008926800ae93f has a brochure describing how to get certification - presumably...
