Event Report
Here on the west coast of Canada, the 3rd Annual Sechelt EV Festival was another big success.
While circumstances forced us to abandon our previous waterfront site, the weather was perfect and the new venue (adjacent to our local Farmers Market, a Wood Expo and a local shopping mall, not to mention 4 Level 2 chargers and a DC charger, within a few feet) made this the biggest event ever. All 3 Tesla models attended (the Model 3 doesn't count since they're not in Canada, yet!) We also had the usual strong contingent of Nissan Leafs and SmartEVs with many other new models joining for the first time - 4 Bolts, 2 Fiat 500Es, 2 Kia Souls, e-bikes plus not-for-profit groups promoting EV's.
There are some fun pictures and a short video (thank you, Duane Burnett) available at:
