One more milestone passed: When Ryan Fulcher left the Bay Area to
drive back to Seattle last Monday, he was experiencing error messages
when trying to charge the battery. Last night he discovered that the
errors came from a faulty fuse-holder INSIDE the charger--so it
wasn't even our team's problem!

You can read his entertaining technical description at the Electric
Auto Association's Plug-In Hybid Discussion group.
The message archive is reflected http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eaa-phev/

We still have a number of known issues to resolve. Technical issues
are being discussed by Ryan, CalCars Tech Lead Ron Gremban and others
at that group. And photographs of the event have links there.

Watch for Seattle events with the car--for now at

eventually somewhere else on the eaa-phev website.
