EVcast #246 Listen to the show!

Nikki Drives Bonus Video

EVcast #254. You’re all invited…
Here’s a video from today’s EVcast. I’m sorry for the bad sound quality on the videoed version of the show – but the audio podcast (available here) is clean and free-from digital artifacts.
We were joined by John “PlasmaBoy” Wayland, who was talking about next week’s excellent EV drag Racing event of the year – the Wayland Invitational, in Portland Oregon. If you’re around, it’s well worth heading over to the Portland International Raceway and watch the fun next weekend, July 24/25.

So, while we await the first real episode of the new show, behold this little funny piece of battery wisdom as found online. http://fuzzwich.s3.amazonaws.com/web/MGCommandments.swf
