Connecticut Electric Car Enthusiasts Show Their Vehicles

On Saturday, July 11th the New England Electric Auto Association sponsored an electric car show at the Deep River Public Library. On display were a number of converted vehicles, including two small pickups, three cars, an electric scooter, and even a converted riding lawn mower.

Deep River resident Dave Oliveria was there with his converted 1998 Ford Ranger. Oliveria is able to commute to his job in Middletown without using a single drop of gas.

The cars would go better with NiMH batteries in but sadly Chevron owns the rights to them and has been sitting on them to stop electric cars getting off the ground, big oil strikes again :(

Yes, if Big Oil tries to block electric cars, we will build them ourselves. We're tired of waiting, and people are becoming better informed about the speed and the power that are possible with electric motors.
