Vale Michael "Doc" Symons.
Doc was a founding member, the first in AU to road-register a converted EV, and a pioneer in electric vehicle construction and ownership. He significantly influenced us, especially the NSW branch and early adopters.
He will be greatly missed.

And now some disappointing news - Willowbank Raceway in southern Queensland has officially banned the running of street licensed production EVs at their dragstrip. They claim 'the risks are too high' for racing EVs... in a controlled environment like a dragstrip. This is a risk perception problem.

Congratulations to Australia's 'Little Norway' - the ACT notched up 10,000 battery electric passenger vehicles.
A good combination of strong government policy, and a highly informed population. Not to mention a very active AEVA ACT branch!

Almost every other charging network provides this, but right across NSW, the NRMA chargers are just blacked out. Status unknown!
How about it, NRMA?"
