I’m a bicycle-riding, EV-driving, LED-lighting fool.
While the majority of my transportation miles are achieved by bicycle, I have been driving a production EV as my family's main automobile since the exciting days of the EV1. Our 2002 Toyota Rav4EV is still the family's daily driver, and for a short time I owned a 2000 Ford Ranger EV. I have driven most production EVs that have existed in the US, and many that are (or were) still in prototype. All told, I have driven over 150,000 miles on battery power. The electricity for my home and cars comes from a roof-mounted 2.5 kW photovoltaic system that was installed in 2003. I am a member of the Electric Vehicle Automobile Association, of Plug In America, and of our local, town-specific EV group. I consult with our UC transportation staff as well as our city staff on all EV matters. I am a vocal and passionate proponent of saving energy, of clean energy, and of clean transportation. I created and maintain the EVnut.com web site - a repository for production EV information and home to the most comprehensive Rav4EV FAQ and modification list. And most importantly - I am a lot more interesting and exciting in person than my bio suggests.
