We are?honored to announce that Laurence W. Nagel, PhD will be formally inducted at the?. Tickets for this event can be found at
?
Laurence W. Nagel, PhD is a renowned developer of integrated circuit simulation software, having developed a program named “Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis,” commonly called SPICE, which launched a cottage industry of circuit simulation tools that have been used throughout the world since the early 1970s.?Larry’s career includes 20 years at Bell Laboratories working on the ADVICE circuit simulation program, process and device simulation tools, development of the Kull-Nagel bipolar model, sub-micron NMOS processes, patent licensing and the Celerity circuit simulation program.?In recent years, as the founder of Omega Enterprises Consulting, he has been advising clients in Analog circuit design, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), circuit simulation (SPICE), semiconductor device modeling and is often an expert witness in patent litigation and trade secret cases.?Larry earned his BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of California-Berkeley. He became an IEEE Fellow in 2005 “for contributions to the field of integrated circuit simulation,” and is now an IEEE Life Fellow. SPICE was recognized with an IEEE Milestone in 2011, and Dr. Nagel participated in its Computer History Museum dedication.
Banquet Keynote Speaker:?Mark Seeger, Founder of Glydways
Mark Seeger founded Glydways to activate his vision: a form of public transit that can move more people than rail, using less than half of the space, which costs 90% less to build and operate while providing a private and on-demand ride every time. Most crucially, this solution can be delivered with commodity technology leveraging existing supply chains. Born in the Netherlands, Mark has spent equal parts of his life in Holland, Singapore, and the United States, giving him insight and experience into regional opportunities and challenges that exist to dramatically change how we as a society move.?Prior to founding Glydways, Mark had early careers at NASA and Apple; founded the biodegradable plastics company GreenIdea in Singapore (sold); the electric motorcycle company Mission Motorcycles and Mission Marine; as well built initiatives that focused on low-cost, high-efficiency air-conditioning for third-world countries with his company GeoCool (sold).?Mark holds an MBA and MS in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and resides in Brisbane, CA.

I went over the executive orders
Trump signed the first day, and noticed these
two as applying to "Energy" and "Environment"
First - he declared a National
Energy Emergency on false premises
Second - I haven't fully examined
it, but it seems that under the pretext of an
Emergency that they want to suspend clean air
and clean water laws and other environmental
protections and climate change measures
Third - There is an explicit call to
suspend the right some states have to set their
own clean air requirements
The last is a direct assault on
CARB.? California declared a right to set its
own clean air standards before the EPA even
existed.? The rise of electric vehicles is due
in part to CARBs existence.
In September 2019, the Trump
administration had launched an attack on CARBs
existence.
The rules CARB develops are used by
?19? other states.

Re: [GGEVA] Trump ends 'electric vehicle mandate' in Day 1 executive order
Rather, team... Now is the time to advocate even more for EVs, for those who want to stand against the new regime, manifest energy independence with solar and battery back up. And to those who already have readymades, it's time to embrace the technology and responsibility of keeping your cars? running and charged and the cars of others. It's tempting to scorn tesla cars due to the company PR EGO but that guy didn't develop the technology and programs. Maybe EV experts "liberated" by an industry -wide stall? will be available to keep the spark- hot. Struggle sharply & choose love
I don't shop where I can't charge.

Re: Which automakers have Tesla Supercharger access?
Sybil, thanks for this.
Kia had previously announced that January 15 was the magic date for Supercharger access. I assumed that Hyundai would be included.
Yesterday (15th) first thing I drove down to the newest Supercharger on El Monte / El Camino in my Kona Electric and the Vortex Plug (which I had already successfully tried with a Bolt) and enabled charging with my Tesla app only to be told by the app that my Kona was an "unauthorized" vehicle. :-(
I've subsequently read online that both Kia and Hyundai have waffled and that our cars will be enabled some time in the first quarter of this year.
As a Hyundai owner I am tickled pink about upcoming Supercharger access. A post-Thanksgiving trip to the Sierra foothills in the Kona exposed the deficiencies in the existing CCS networks: insufficient and broken chargers, long waits, inconsiderate/clueless users, etc. leading to long-distance trip unpredictability.
As a Tesla owner, I dread the masses of slow-charging newcomers clogging up the Supercharger network, many with charging ports which don't line up with the Supercharger cables. I've been a really happy user of Superchargers for nine years with my 2013 MS85 used exclusively for seriously-long road trips across the US and Canada with virtually never a charging delay once outside the Bay Area.
