The Return of EV 101 Classes

The questions about EV’s keep coming and the members of the EV Group try to field as many as we can.   We lost our spring EV 101 class due to the Pandemic, so we have done some pondering and have worked out how to provide a safe COVID-19 event  Here is how it will work.


On Monday, September 21, 2020  we will have a ZOOM presentation at 7 pm.  Our instructor is Dennis Fortin, who has taught our previous seminars.  Dennis is a former fighter pilot and BMW-i3 owner.  Folks loved his presentation and after it we fielded many questions.  However, many folks like me think of our questions after the event.


On Tuesday, September 22, 2020 we will have a live question and answer session with a panelist of local experienced owners in the Library education room.  There will be a 7 pm and 8 pm session for 45 minutes each.  Each is strictly limited to 9 attendees and will honour strict C-19 safety procedures.  We recommend attending the seminar and then one of the Q&A sessions.  To register for either one or both, please email me at: jstanden@ucalgary.ca and you will be invited to the ZOOM session and allocated a time-slot on Tuesday evening.  There is no charge to attend either event.  Everybody on Tuesday will get a free “Why Drive an EV on Salt Spring Island” kids booklet (artwork is by local artist, Sarah Grindler).  If you feel like you want to offer something in return, please give an amount of your choice to a local charity, or at one of our free charging station donation boxes (located at ArtSpring, the Library or Fulford Hall).
