A special thanks to the Victoria Chess Club and the EV Owners  from the five families for providing an opportunity to ride in a LEAF and Tesla.  They never had a chance to ride in an electric car before, the visitors told us.

A second electric car was necessary to get this family and all their luggage on the way to Victoria.
