SAN JOSE EarthDay WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
4/20/96 On Saturday from 9am-4pm, many came and joined us in the celebration of the San Jose EarthDay! We had 20 EVs on both display, and from 11 am to 2 pm we gave rides to the public at downtown Parkside Hall (near Park and Market). There were many EVs from all around the Bay area: our locals from the San Jose Chapter, Santa Cruz, Palo Alto (SVEAA), Redwood City, Sebastopol, San Mateo (SFPEAA), and more. There was a Solar Race vehicle from a college, the new inter-urban "Trans2" small EV, and a nice showing of the 'Zebra' (formally known as the Tropica'. A sexy, sporty EV, at a nice price). There were Plenty of 'ZAP' Electric Bicycles, and a speedy human/electric hybrid using a recumbent design. 

Our many thanks to Glen Evan of San Jose Beautiful, for ALL his efforts, working with the City of San Jose to make a very successful EVent. Many more of San Jose's residents are more knowledgeable of their Electric Vehicle transportation options.



03/24/96 On Saturday, Electric Auto Association (EAA) presence at the San Jose Mercury News 10K race. Electric Vehicles (EVs) on Display in an adjacent parking area. We had 4 of our EVs (cone by each - Left to right, Bob Mueller: 96V LeCar, Don Gillis: 120V 914 Porsche, Marc Fontana: 96V Rabbit, and Bruce Parmenter: 120V S-10 Blazer. Two nice persons (just before the foot race) posing in front of Bruce's Blazer (Bob and Marc were in the 10k run as well as our EV promotion). Hoods open, plenty of literature, and EV answers given to the public who had many EV questions. With the Information tools we share, most people were able to learn that their daily commute and driving needs were well within an affordable, low maintenance, Electric Vehicle. We look forward to seeing you at our Free meetings.



7/95 Members' Electric Vehicles (EVs) on Display in a San Jose Shopping Center where KRTY Radio Station held their Car Show. Amongst the muscle cars (heavy gasoline polluting) sections, and our Electric Vehicle (much less polluting) section, we received plenty of interest from the many people that came to the show :-) 

* The EAA San Jose Chapter members participate in many EVents like this, to give the Free EV information the Public wants from people who drive Electric in their daily lives!
