Our task was to raise awareness of Converted Electric Vehicles and potential safety hazards posed to Rescue people. The camera was missed being taken, sorry no pictures. It was a great day. It was raised on the day that there is no National Standard for identifying Converted Electric Vehicles. One fellow said to me that in a crash scene he would not know my Hilux was Electric Drive. He said it just looked like his Hilux at home in the garage. I pointed out the word Electric on the side. He said that he took that to mean that I was an electrician running an electrician business, and just advertising on the side. It was suggested that there should be a National Standard, perhaps a green diamond with CEV on it. Vehicles with LPG used to have a red diamond with LPG on it. Please write your opinions. Should there be a National Standard? If so, what should that National Standard look like? Trev @ drivebynature.com
