The show feature many green themed booths ranging from organic food products to spray insulation. We can’t wait to participate in next years event.

A recent article in the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch talked about how Saint Louis and other cities around the nation are starting to install electric vehicle charging infrastructures throughout their municipalities. Two of our members, Jeff Dale and Ron Erb, were included in the piece. It is always exciting to see discussion about EVs hit mainstream media but even more so when our members are involved. By heightening awareness of electric vehicles and the charging infrastructure they use we can help speed their adoption in Saint Louis.

Our own Jack Rickard’s site was blogged about over on Autoblog Green today. I had the privilege of meeting Jack at the recent Tesla Motor’s Tour event we had in January. While I was talking with him it was evident he had some significant experience with EV conversions. If you haven’t checked out his site you should. It has tons of high quality videos from his previous, current, and future conversions.
