Oh hey! Look at that, on the same day as a bunch of other EV stuff going on (out east there is a drive, and out west people are arranging a hill climb) there is the "Michigan Electric Autos Show":

I might have to stop by....

Wow - both coasts and midway between! If you go to the Michigan show, please post a report (and a few pics). Sounds fun!

I went to the show last year hoping to be able to see or drive a Focus Electric, but unfortunately there were none on display. There was one in the parking lot but it was locked up. Hopefully this year someone here can represent in the actual show.

Due to life intruding I wasn't able to stay for the show (they saw me drive up in my FFE and at the registration table asked if I was an exhibitor! LOL). I did manage to walk around and grab some photos (yes there was 1 FFE there):

The funny thing was all the license plates on the cars being exhibited ("PLUGDIN", "NOGAS", etc.). I still think my "ZZZT" is the funniest

Unfortunately I too only had about a half hour to take in the whole show. I was there a little later than you, but had to leave around 11 am. There were a few Teslas that had arrived by the time I left. They also had a Focus Electric available in the test drive area in addition to a Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid (which was nice, but at 25MPG really didn't belong at an electric car show). It looked like it was a much bigger show than last year, I wish I could have stuck around longer.
