I am glad your show went well.
But I would suggest you do not judge other conversion drivers too
harshly as there are several reasons why they did not bring their
personal EV to the show:
-as Cor had mentioned, there is the steep climb on I-680 that some local
conversions are not suited for, and or those conversions are not
retrofitted to tap into the new wealth of public L2 EVSE.
-September is a busy plugin month: local EAA chapters either have an
EVent of their own to celebrate Nation Plugin Day, or their Chapter
member plan on attending other Chapter's EVent to give support (i.e.:
the eaasv.org rally @DeAnza College).
-that EVent was on a holiday weekend, and family and friends may have
made other plans. Sometimes, there are other factors pulling at a
driver's ability to attend these EVents, and they have to pick their
battles (they past on your smaller EVent, so that the spouse would be OK
with attending the coming larger Plugin Day EVent, etc.).
-or it could be, your EV is just so-good, they did not want to be
out-classed :-)
