FEB 28: NMSEA Albuquerque Chapter Meeting - Albuquerque, NM

6-8pm at REI, 1550 Mercantile Ave NE , 87107

Join NMSEA for our monthly Albuquerque Chapter Meeting presentation! February's topic, "Green Your Wheels" with NMSEA President Monte Ogdahl, will cover Electric Vehicles and other transportation issues.
  • Learn how you can drive a vehicle that’s cleaner for the environment and greener for your wallet.
  • See how gasoline verses electric vehicles compare in efficiency, pollution, cost and payback.
  • Replace gas/oil with PV/Wind for an environmental and monetary payback.
  • Gain insights to determine the right EV or PHEV for your needs.
  • Plus preview the upcoming EV conversion classes!

Monte Ogdahl began researching EV’s while teaching electronics and PV classes at SFCC in the early-mid 90’s. Two years ago Monte purchased a electric truck that was converted in the mid 90’s which he is now driving while testing new lithium battery systems with a detachable “genset” (hybrid). Monte teaches EV Basics and EV Conversion classes as well as consulting for individuals and groups doing conversions.

More reasons to be there include networking, door prizes and finger foods! Free & open to the public. For more information, please refer to the NMSEA website.
Hope to see you at the meeting!
