We had a very interesting presentation on 5/24/2025 (recorded live at Maker Nexus) from Mr. Jim Hanlon of Towa Tools. How do gardeners and landscapers keep their batteries charged when they're using their tools all or most of the time? This presentation for our Silicon Valley Chapter explains how. The actual presentation begins at 0:02:30 into the recording, since we had some audio issues at the beginning. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYxkC3fdyCs on youtube. And enjoy your 3-day weekend.

For professional landscapers and other users of outdoor power equipment, how do you keep your equipment charged when you're on the go all day? Mr. Jim Hanlon of Towa Tools will help us figure that out at this EVA Silicon Valley chapter meeting. Coffee and light refreshments will be served. This will be an in-person meeting, at the Maker Nexus, 1330 Orleans Dr, Sunnyvale, CA. Start time is 11:00am, Saturday May 24. Directions available at https://maps.app.goo.gl/ac5PnBfHLBNAqZuw7 The presentation will also be available on Zoom, minus the refreshments: register in advance for the zoom meeting at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/7Y_gBFQCQgOJf8Ms0V1lFQ Topics to be covered: The requirement in outdoor power equipment to switch from gas to battery powered equipment. The costs & bottlenecks to business this entails. Power management solution to switch power to rather than simply grow expensive xs capacity. Solutions to charge at 120V (handheld equipment) and 240V (for ride on equipment). Solutions for mobile power Solutions for trailers and workshops Solutions for web monitoring and managing groups

Save the date! Our next chapter meeting will be Sat 5/24, 11:00am at Maker Nexus in Sunnyvale. Details coming soon.

IEEE-VTS (Vehicular Technology Society) has organized a presentation of interest for EAASV. IEEE Membership is not needed. EAASV Members are invited to join us for: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/483688 May.19.2025 11:30am Networking & Light Refreshments; 12:00 Noon Presentation Start Maker Nexus 1330 Orleans Dr Sunnyvale, California 94087 DECISION-AID TOOLS AND FAST CHARGING STRATEGIES FOR EV-BASED EVACUATIONS Ricardo de Castro - UC Merced Joint IEEE-VTS & ASME-SCVS: Decision-Aid Tools & Fast Charging Strategies for EV-Based Evacuations When: Monday, May 19, 2025 11:30 AM PT Networking & Light Refreshments; 12:00 Noon PT Presentation Where: Maker Nexus, 1330 Orleans Dr., Sunnyvale, CA 95089 Register Now → Speaker: Dr Ricardo de Castro. Assistant Professor UC Merced Abstract: California is rapidly transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) as part of its efforts to decarbonize the transportation sector. However, the state is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, including wildfires, floods, and earthquakes. Between 2017 and 2019, more than one million residents were ordered to evacuate due to wildfires alone. Such large-scale emergencies can disrupt the power grid, causing blackouts that limit EV charging availability. In the worst-case scenario, insufficient charging infrastructure and limited access to power could hinder the safe evacuation of EV users, particularly in situations requiring rapid departure. This highlights the urgent need for robust planning strategies to integrate EVs into emergency response frameworks. This talk will first introduce decision-aid tools designed to assist communities and government officials in planning EV-based evacuations. Our tool provides recommendations for mobile charging placement, congestion-aware routing, and recharging strategies aimed at minimizing evacuation time. The second part of the presentation will focus on fast EV charging strategies during emergencies. These strategies are designed to reduce charging time while ensuring electro-chemical and thermal safety of battery-based EVs. Biography: Ricardo de Castro received his Licenciatura and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Porto, Portugal, in 2006 and 2013, respectively. From 2007 to 2008, he was the co-founder of the startup WeMoveU, focusing on developing powertrain control solutions for lightweight electric vehicles. From 2013 to 2020, he was with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of System Dynamics and Control (SR), where he worked on enabling technologies for electric mobility and automated driving. In 2021, he joined the University of California, Merced, as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His current research focuses on controls and optimization for zero-emission and robotic vehicles. Ricardo holds four patents and has authored over 100 papers in international journals, conferences, and book chapters. He is a recipient of three best paper awards from IEEE and ASME, as well as the Hellman Fellowship Award, which recognizes outstanding early-career faculty within the University of California system. Ricardo serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and IEEE Access. He is also the Vice President for Motor Vehicles at the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, the founding Chair of the IEEE Automated Vehicles Standards Committee (AVSC), and the General Chair of the 2022 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC). ------------------------------------- T.

Hello, The Consumer Reports Magazine has become a strong EV supporter. Not long ago, they named a popular EV as their “car of the year”. They have been collecting EV reliability data from their members and publishing it in their magazine and buyers guide so that people can make an informed decision when buying their next car. Consumer Reports buys their own EVs and does their own independent tests unlike many of the YouTube EV reviewers who receive a demo EV for free from the manufacturer and are a bit biased as a result. On Thursday April 24th there will be an online meeting with Consumer Reports hosted by the EV advocacy group Generation 180. No cost to attend, however registration is required. The time listed is 1 PM eastern which is 11 AM here in California.
