Event Report
This event was part of the Maker Faire at AB Tech, which is why there were only 5 EVs. However, many people attended this event that was advertised to the greater Asheville Community. The theme was resilience - nence all the EVs had V2G or V2L and there were lots of solar and battery displays.Here's a video of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfBer9_Sc2w by Steve O'Neil.
