Join us as we hear about the process and benefits of converting a tugboat to electric.

The electric vehicle association got its start decades ago by people that wanted to convert cars to electric. Now a local boatyard has just completed the conversion of a diesel tugboat. A recent [article in the SD Union](https://enewspaper.sandiegouniontribune.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=f1bfa6a1-09e3-49ce-b8f3-7e69f8e25df7) covered how this happened in our own back yard.

Leah Yam of [Marine Group Boat Works](https://www.marinegroupbw.com/) will give us the details on how and why they undertook conversion of a tugboat.

Be sure to RSVP so we can plan for pizza
