    Hi folks,

    The Huntsville EV community is planning a dog-and-pony show at Whole Foods with member cars. I'm planning:
    1. Static display - BMW i3-REx with wheelchair carrier and wheelchair. There will be handouts (see below.)
    2. EVSE display - Poster board about home wiring showing the split-phase from the pole to the 120 VAC and 240 VAC outlets. It will include the Level 1 charger that comes with the BMW; a dryer adapter to make two 15A, 120 VAC plugs, and a dryer pigtail to my JuiceBox Pro 40, and a J1772 extension ... total distance ~50 ft from NEMA 6-30 to the car.
    3. (optional) buying an EV, Plug-In, hybrid - (1) lease, (2) assume lease, (3) buy used, and (4) buy new
    Anyone else participating this weekend?

    Perhaps the "New England Electric Auto Association" might have some local contacts.

    looks pretty rudimentary, 9 members, and all own home made electric vehicles, at least on the web site. only 3 opportunity charging stations in all of massachusetts. it's like living in a time warp up here.
