Dekujeme za asistenci dobrovolniku, kterou kazdemu vystavovateli poskytli organizatori. We were given assistance from the volunteers supplied by the event organizers "Ceska Hlava - Veda v ulicich". Great help, thanks! See that opened white parcel box on the far left table? That's the original GM EV1 - dealership brochure, luxurious leather & metal edition in superpristine condition! It was a bargain, just makes you love Ebay..
..finishing touches :@ )
The elmentary is placed just across the street, swarms of kids all the time.

Quite interestingly, the neighboring booth featuring factory model of CNG based VW-Skoda was not driving any interest from the public and even not being attended by their crew at all! And this is the official government's handpicked "pet technology", just makes you wonder.. ?!?
This fine gentleman claimed to be a just returned former emigree and later employee of Ford Motor Co. He is now completely into electrics..
Hot debates all the time! Peter T. (right) is a longtime and good friend of our EV club but always ready to place down to the earth type of questions and thus reanimate the conversation.
Quite freaky looking experimental setup, details pending.. Michal in the background briefs the public on the EV related subject. This "expo" place is just across the street from local elementary, kids are everywhere..
Jaromir II (left) presenting his A123 batt. cell based scooter, one of the first experimentals using this technology in the Central and Eastern European region, joined by Peter "ElectricGolf" (center) and Vaclav "Geologist - floodies Skoda Eltra" on the right.
That crazy acceleration of this A123 batt. based little devil was hard to control. Michal (right) later raced it against Peter on red GDF scooter (lead VRLA) and it was obviously no match for the superior technology.. Dear Mr. Vieau (CEO of A123), please release those big new cells for the general public asap!
A little summer shower while all the EVs are charging up, safely..
Vinnetou and his earthy jokes just work..

Well, the exterior looks a little bit beaten up on this 15yrs. old pickup but the electric traction internals are sound!
We always enjoy these kind of moments when doing outreach: "Damn! How come I didn't know this existed ?!? Where can I get it? Can I take a test ride now?"..
Again, the int. call sign of all the EV folks, loosly attached "fake" charging cable from the behind.. "Look ma, no tailpipe!"
Thanks for the music!
