This
is year two for the Florida
Electric Auto Association's big event, Battery
Beach Burnout, an all electric gathering of the EV faithful.
For ProEV, this is a little bit of an intramural event, a 'blue
on blue' competition. No matter who wins, it is going to be an EV.
For this reason, the crew tends to be a little more casual in our
preparations.
So
when a film crew covering Battery Beach asks if they can film us
'preparing' the car, we are confident that they will not be disrupting
our effort. We do scratch our heads a little trying to come up with
something photogenic to be doing to the car.

was just as well we have nothing essential left to do, I can not see
how we could get any work done around the filming.
Since
it was not a full road race weekend, our plan is for me to drive
the car up the Jupiter, Florida for the event. This is an easy 80
mile drive if I leave from my house rather than the race shop. After
Thursday's filming, I drive the Electric Imp to my house. Friday
afternoon I put the pack on charge. An hour and a half later the
charger dies.
