Ford Ranger

The NBEAA chapter visited Fetzer Vineyards in Hopland to become acquainted with the business’ 3E environmental program. Patrick Healy, Environmental Manager, and Brad Campbell, Design Engineer, described Fetzer’s  electric vehicles (including Ford Ranger EV pickup trucks, NEVs and utility vehicles), organic growing practices, widespread recycling and the use of photovoltaic panels to generate electricity at the site.

The NBEAA chapter formed the team “Charging Forward with Electrics!” to help raise funds for the American Lung Association’s Blow the Whistle on Asthma Walk. The walk was 2.1 miles through beautiful Spring Lake Park in Santa Rosa. The chapter displayed EVs in this event alongside many other teams’ and organizations' display areas.
