Washington - Page 8 - August 2011

Catching up with an EV contact in Chelan, Washington

Randy Brooks and his lovely Toyota Echo conversion

Features an Azure power plant (AC motor and controller) with a Canadian made conversion kit to the gearbox (transmission)

Regulations are much easier in the USA to get these registered and on the road

For example, no interlock is required on the charging door?

Randy has owned the vehicle from new and hence the car is very tidy.....

Only one multifunction gauge has been added along with some dummy resistors to trick some computer inputs

All the airbags and safety circuit are as original and test OK

Yep......

Randy is now retired and does some consulting

See the electric tractor on the following page.........
