Just a quick note to folks local to Portland, Oregon area.

There is a EV Road rally scheduled just prior to the showing (I plan on driving my TWIKE). The director Chris Paine will be attending and doing a Q & A after the shows.

Man that sounds great, but I have to be honest, the idea of locking up my E-Bike outside while I watch a movie makes me nervous!

Thanks again so much for posting this! I barely made it in time (I spent most of the day building a new chain tensioner only to have to bolt-back on my "trusty" converted derailleur I didn't get enough chain wrap so it slipped, but it looks gorgeous! ) so I left Oregon City at 4 PM, and when I got to the Hollywood, I met Wade of Ebikes in Portland, looks like we will be collaborating on some builds in the near future!

I loved the movie, very well done, informative with out being preachy or pretentious, very kewl to learn how well things are now going for at least 3 serious Electric cars (the E-Big Three? Testla, Leaf & Volt? ).

My next car will definitely be electric, I don't make long trips, and for in the Portland/Oregon City area, any one of the three would suit my needs just fine.

I'm leaning towards either the Volt or Leaf, the main drawback to the Leaf is pure electric meaning I would be very dependent on an infrastructure that isn't mature yet (not enough charging stations, mainly 240, a few 110, but that's not practical IMHO, when you need quick charging times) but I am in the best place in the country for that, and things are moving along!

I'm OFFICIALLY missing living in the Portland metro right now.
Please send some of your forward-thinking, intelligent, and friendly people over here to Colorado. We could really use more you.

Thanks to those that attended and took the opportunity to support EV's and meet Chris Paine. It was cold and wet outside but warm and friendly inside.
