Alameda Spring Show

10/4/2013

 
Picture
We're all set up with our new signage and the Your Energy Solutions' Nissan Leaf ready to get a charge for the Show.

One plugged-in Leaf in the sunshine. Charging by sunshine, down the road on sunshine. 

We will be displaying the SolaRover at 6700 Santa Rita Road near Pimlico Road and the 580 in Pleasanton.

Goal: EV charging at that location.

41st EV Rally - It's Fall: Leafs Everywhere!

9/30/2013

 
Picture
At the EV Rally - also the 4th Annual National Plug-In Day - there were 120+ Nissan Leafs registered for the event! 

Picture
There were rare cars like this T-Zero, old cars, new cars, lots of conversions, the first AAA emergency charge truck, a full-size electric pickup truck and a light box-truck chassis from Wrightspeed Powertrains.

41st EV Rally - Biggest Yet

Picture
A great success! We provided solar power for the sound stage and worked on promoting our unique mobile charging station... available to EV owners soon.

Picture
The De Anza College parking lot is the perfect background for EV events with their single-axis PV grid array, which provided welcome shade as well. We blended right in!

Electric Motorcycle Charges to Top

Lightning Strikes Again!
A production version of the Electric Superbike has won this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb among two wheelers (both gas and electric) with a time of 10 minutes and 0.964 seconds. The nearest competitor, racing a Ducati Multistrada, finished with a time nearly 20 seconds slower.

Let's clarify: THIS IS BIG. An electric motorcycle in open competition, and a production version to boot, beat all comers, including gas-powered bikes. Electric cars are now regularly competing in Pike's Peak and other races, and it's only a matter of time before other records start falling to EVs.

Renewables West played a bit part in last year's MotoGP, renting out our Mojave-1 mobile solar generator to charge the two Lightning superbikes, one of which won the race. Barracuda Networks sponsored that event and now claims the title: "World's First Zero-Carbon-Footprint Motorcycle Race." We're a part of that history!

    Portable Solar Power Generators are not the norm, but could be... and should be.
    This is where we would like to discuss that with you, and share what we're doing toward that goal.
