                            2020 achievements


    The Pandemic restricted our activities, but some accomplishments by the EV Group of the community were achieved:
        Repair of ArtSpring chargers (from vandalism, again)
        Participation on Climate Action Plan - 2.0 - Transportation committee
        The EV Group attended a Victoria EV sponsored “drive around the Legislature event" to promote better legislation in support of folks purchasing EV’s.  Covered in the Driftwood.
        new level 2 chargers were installed at Portlock Park (CRD) and at Merchant Mews.  Both are free to use and open to the public. 
        first offering of Covid-Friendly ZOOM/Library EV 101.  The Zoom attendance was 20, the physical library attendance was 1 and 3 support folks)
        7 more EVolution articles in the Driftwood (and a few other articles)
        more “why Drive an EV on Salt Spring Island” booklets were printed and handed out at Island savings, Country Grocer and EV 101
        maintained an active connection with the Victoria EV Association
        Reached 12 free public chargers hosting 18 charging wands (3 with donation boxes).  4 are Tesla chargers.


In the planning stages for 2021
    Ask an expert ZOOM session
        - for existing owners and potential owners
        - This session will feature Julian Sale of Motorize Auto Direct (as per 2016 live session at the Fritz)
        - Potential to do further sessions (Kent Rathwell, James Locke, Martin Buck)


    Additional Dealer days
        - Harris and Motorize are interested.


     CRD committed to free public charger at swimming pool for 2021.


Reminder:
    TSS owns and has total responsibility for the ArtSpring charger.  The EV group maintains it but has no responsibility to pay for repairs or replacement.  We have done so to date as a kindness thing.
