What an excellent event! We are very happy and honored to receive these two awards. We want to thank all our sponsors for all the support, all our friends for all the help, and the Florida Electric Auto Association for having this wonderful event and for recognizing all our efforts.

The MEVP1 “the Buzz” and MEVP2 “New Lectric Leopard” were representing the Miami EV Project among 70 electric vehicles during this year’s event. The two days consisted of “Show and Shine” competitions, acceleration tests, autocross races and electrathon.  We met some really interesting people and many many experts that gaves us excellent advise and helped us perform the best we could in the races! Thanks!!!

Here is a video of danny putting the MEVP1 to the test in the Autocross track, our best time was 33.05 (Danny was driving), which put us on 5th place… not bad for the first time running the car!

Also, here are some pictures of other electric cars and hybrids that participated in the event!

We got a flat tire at the end of the first test drive. However, Rick saved the day! He came with his fryer oil powered truck (he makes his own bio-diesel) and fixed our flat tire. And yes, the truck smelled like french fries… THANKS RICK! he also let us ride his electric scooter… barbie almost kills herself with it hahaha. Azul and Danny got a hang of it.

Well, it’s been a while since our last post. We are happy to report that we have been spending a lot of time riding the car (MEVP1) and working little kinks out. Also, we finished Azul’s car upgrade (MEVP2). He even re-did the interior and now the Lectric Leopard look AWESOME! (we’ll post the whole process soon). Both cars are working great and getting ready to go to this weekend’s EV conference in Jupiter, FL. Hope to see you all there. Click HERE for info on the event.

In the past few weeks we have been working on some of the kinks of the MEVP1, such as transmission problems, details of the rear battery box, wiring the PakTrakr battery monitoring system, finsihed details on the exterior wrap, did balancing and alignnement, we had a battery terminal break off, so we fixed it, we wired the rear battery box  fan (which sounds like a vacuum cleaner), and a bunch of other things. Here are some pics…

We are still tuning the PakTrakr and the charger, so we get some crazy readings sometimes… normal charge 144V but 0% Full and still running was funny…

Driving through downtown Miami and a picture with our cool, non electric neighbor…

See you at the conference!!!
