We really could use fast chargers down the 401 highway in Ontario and
highway 20 in Quebec.

Spaced out every 65km ( 40miles)
Should be enough to get you here.

Well we at least got our first one in the Montreal area. :D
 
Just got back from the event
Thanks to DonDakin for offering me to ride shotgun with him in his Miev I was able to participate.It was great to meet a fellow forum member.

We have at least 1 new (unofficial at this time) world record - more than 42x BEV and PHEV gathered today in Montreal, Mievs, Leafs,Volts, Ford Focus, Smart , Teslas , some from as far away as Ottawa all joined together to make it happen
Following the gathering there was a parade to attempt another record category,
with the BEV first leading, following were the EVs with battery extender, and then the plug PHEVS, followed by all the rest .
A very proud & enthusiastic group of EV supporters

Well Done
 
That's the most ev's I ever saw in one place that's for sure.

I was glad to be part of it and it was really nice to meet Sandage and chat ev's with him.

Let's hope that the new government continues to support them.

Hey Sandy,

You can see our silver Imiev in the picture under the roller coaster just behind the red Leaf.....

I was distracted by lots of things, including trading my MiEV in for a Volt, so missed this discussion while it was developing.

I would have liked to been part of this historic event- Montreal would be feasible in the Mitsubishi, but would require planning (and a Circuit Electrique card, which I still can't figure out how to get as a NY resident... I've called and asked). The Volt would have made it, but being Easter weekend, my church obligations would have prevented me from making it anyway.

Maybe next year... congratulations on the successful event!

a la prochaine!

Cheers
Rich
 
Hey Rich
It would be great if you come up for next year and join us .
It would be my first participation with my EV too, and if DonDakin participates again, we would be three from this forum.
Possibly beating the record again.

I brought three vehicles to this event: the i-MiEV, the orange Sparrow and the blue Sparrow, and had a couple of friends drive. Brought my own power system ('48v' Lithiums + Inverter) in the i-MiEV to recharge two of the Sparrows so they could get home. In addition to jjlink, there was at least one other i-MiEV in the parade. Note the solar panels (they rotate) above this junior college parking lot - a common sight in California schools.

That's awesome. Glad you got to be a part of it. We'd have to round up every EV in a 500 mile radius of Pittsburgh to even get close to that.

I think if we rounded up every EV within 500 miles of me, we could park them all on my lawn ;-)

I'm planning to partake with our EV this year.
Big Thanks to DonDakin for allowing me to accompany him in his Miev last year, since mine was being repaired.

The Tesla club took a 16 minute video of the 2014 event.
Aerial videos from a drone.
If you're interested

The music is a little cheesy but - Great shots of the people & EVs.
They even caught a couple glimpses of Don & I from behind in the crowd.

I think it's Dons Silver Miev that was capture at the 15.26 minute mark in the EV parade.
I had a great time
