We made the return trip to Redcliff without any charge during the day. Welcome relief to get some sleep.
Another early start. Off we go to the car show. Back to the centre of Brisbane, King George Square. We were able to share what we know with many people during the day. It was great to also talk with others who had Electric vehicle displays of their own, learning from them too.
There were boats, scooters, push bikes, along with many cars. I did miss the Telsa roadster though. There was supposed to be one at the show, but I heard a rumor that the truck bringing it had broken down, so no Tesla. There was an old vintage electric truck, just to show that electric drive has been around for a long time. Some great work by many EV converters too. Graeme from Suzi Auto had a few of his cars there. It was great to see the Honda Civic with Ultramotive carbon motor and Tritium speed controller. The guy making the Prius plug in battery packs was there. I have a special interest in boats and so had to check out the carbon fibre 'Gold Rush' speed boat. Only 2 x 4kW Torqueedo motors and able to do 28km/hr.
Here is a few shots around the show. We were next to Mitsibishi iMIEV and a charging station company on the other side of us.
