The gazebo next to Costco in Novato was the location of the September meeting of the NBEAA. The featured speaker was Clare Bell, longtime EV supporter, past editor of the EAA’s publication “Current EVents,” and currently an EV consultant. Clare gave an accounting of her EV experiences, in particular her stint at Th!nk in Norway. After the meeting, Clare gave a hands-on discussion of the anatomy of the Th!nk City, whilst partially dissecting a City leased by NBEAA chapter president Nick Carter.

Gary Starr, CEO of Zap, and Steve Schneider, President of Voltage Vehicles, gave us a presentation of the planned merger of their two companies. Afterwards, NBEAA'ers tried out various EVs ranging from the Solectria Force, GEM, Th!nk City, to smaller vehicles like the Zap bikes.

Our February meeting was held at Thunderstruck Motors in Santa Rosa on a damp rainy day. The North Bay Chapter held a joint meeting with the East Bay Chapter. This meeting served as a revival of sorts for the North Bay Chapter, which had had only sporadic meetings for the last year or two. We inaugurated Dr. Nick Carter as the new chapter president. Brian Hall showed us some interesting EV machinery that Thunderstruck is developing. And EVers from the two chapters got to talk and learn from each other and to have fun. All in all, it definitely made up for the rainy weather.
