Hybrid/EV eShow 'n' Shine BBQ

Scarborough Toyota (map)

Selected By: Erik

We're joining forces with the EVSC (Electric Vehicle Society of Canada) to show off our latest technology at Scarborough Toyota, one of our sponsors.

The press will encourage anyone interested in the future of clean driving to join us at the Scarborough Toyota Showroom to see what is available today. At this time, the Globe and Mail have agreed to be represented.

We'd like to have as many hybrids, both regular and PHEV's, so that we can make a good showing for the car of the present along with the EV's from EVSC.

Please RSVP as soon as possible so that we have an idea of how many hybrids and PHEV's to make room for in the show room.

    This will be a great "positive" event for Hybrids and the Toyota brand in general. I would love to do a commercial one of these days.
    Hope the showroom will be packed full.
    Please confirm the time - Erik's posting says 12noon.
    Cheers,

    This was an excellent gathering of new and high-tech cars under one roof (with a well-catered lunch by Pat's kids). A big "Thank You" to Pat and his whole extended family, including his Toyota family, too. It was so good that we will do it again around October 16th.

    For those who missed it ... this event / exhibit showcased a diverse array of production, modified and 'one-up' electron vehicle variants. Big thanks to Pat Barnes and staff at Scarborough Toyota.

    Excellent show, a special thanks and congrats to Pat Barnes for providing a great place (Scarborough Toyota's bodyshop) for this venue. Seeing a Zen in the flesh was fantastic and talking to the inventor "Bunny" was even better! There were some amazing electric vehicles there, some were beautifully built and some were works in progress. I met a few people that may be helpful to me in my new venture of selling ebikes and etrailers in Aurora. Also, thanks goes out to Pat for allowing me to park my eco-limo Camry hybrid along with my unique luggage trailer in the show area. I received quite a lot of interest in my eco-limo concept. Once again, well done Pat and GO GREEN GO!

    don't know if the message got out to all those who might have had some interest. Most were already commited types so,made some potential business contacts. Been nice if there were solaar folks and new hybrids..Hyundai....but I guess not at a toyota dealers place.

    I was there between 12 noon and 2 PM. I saw that there were several people who came in by themselves or with their families. There were also pure electric vehicles and some of them that were modified by the owners themselves. There was this passion about the ultimate 'zero gas consumption' car ! Kids were proudly serving customers at the BBQ. I finally got the chance to meet Erik and David who provided valuable information on the hybrids. Pat Barnes gave valuable insight into the hybrid technology.
