Greetings all,

 

The board has been hard at work lining up speakers for our monthly meetings and October's will be great. We have presentations from OpConnect and Arcimoto. Please come early and see all the great EV cars and meet the folks who own them. Also, I will be looking to meet each of you and find out what you like about the group and how we can make it fun.

 

Thank you,

John Christian

OEVA Chair

 

Our meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month (except Dec.) in downtown Portland at The World Trade Center, on the corner of SW Salmon and 1st Street. See the Yahoo Map or WTC Map. (A backup map is also available.)

7pm - 7:30, Socializing, Car show and tell

7:30 - 9pm, Meeting

PGE provides outlets for recharging your vehicle, so bring your EV if you have one.

 

Here is a brief description of the presenters and their offerings:

 

The OpConnect EVCS charging stations is manufactured by Optimization Technologies, Inc., of Beaverton. The OpConnect stations are built around Optimization Technologies’ innovative technology now being used in commercial jets. The stations can serve up to four vehicles at a time and support 120v and 240v charging. The OpConnect stations feature time-of-day charging capabilities, SMS and e-mail messages when battery charging is complete, and other cool features. The OpConnect stations also have an open-access system that allows the charging station owner to customize how access to electricity and the parking space is controlled. You can also visit us on the web at www.opconnect.com.

 

Sincerely,

Nathan Isaacs

Manager, Business Development

Also, the VP of Marketing from Eugene's Arcimoto will be showing their just released car the Pulse. Come early and see it on display.

 

EV startup Arcimoto has just unveiled their Pulse three-wheeled, tandem two-passenger electric car. It runs on lead-acid batteries charging on 110V in 6-8 hours and delivers a range of 50-100 miles. The extra helping of enviro-nerdiness comes standard. The new EV entry is planned for production in Eugene, Oregon and delivery start in late 2010 (which is when everybody is pegging their EV/super green car deliveries) with a planned list price under $20,000. That price is remarkably lower than most announced EV offerings mainly because the company is using tried and true lead-acid batteries rather than a more exotic chemistry with hefty development costs. Motivation comes from a DC motor able to deliver 80 lb-ft of torque with a top speed of 55 MPH.
