Some exciting events for EVs and great marketing exposure planned here in Montreal Quebec

The Business of Going Electric

From the EMC (Electric Mobility web site) MEC ( Mobility Electric Canada)

Our EV2012VÉ Conference and Trade Show is taking place in Montreal’s Palais des congrès October 23 to 26, 2012 and there are strong indications that it may set new records. This will be the fourth such annual conference organized by Electric Mobility Canada (EMC) and this event takes us back to Montreal where our first event was held in 2009

With Hydro-Québec as the conference host

Meet & Greet

http://cnta.ca/en/news/P1

We were asked to participate in Meet & Greet on the 27 th following the conference at the Gilles Villeneuve race track circuit
Where the public can come and see the many different variations of electric vehicles and speak to the owners, ask questions and even do a 4 km test run on the track.

They were glad we would participate since they did not have many I Mieve's participating.

So if you are an I Miev Owner in the Greater Montreal Area and would like to participate in this event You can send me an email and I can give you the contact information.

Get Connected at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit

This was the first CNTA "Get Connected" event, supervised buy Dan Pare & Lynn Charbonneau
We had the pleasure to participate in meeting and greeting the public, sharing our limited experiences as EV owners.

The Gilles Villeneuve race track circuit was sectioned into a 4km route where we "at our discretion" accompanied people we interviewed to go for a test ride.
Most of the track was limited to 30 kmph, with only a short back stretch for higher speeds up 100km to experience highway speed.

The weather was warm for October, quite grey and overcast, but the afternoon had an occasional spotting of the sun. We however were quite busy with people right up to about 2 in the afternoon when we had to stop to recharge to get home.
