Convention on electric cars set in Cape Girardeau
August 5, 2013
(CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., AP) — A convention designed to help people convert cars to run on electricity is scheduled this week in Cape Girardeau.
Co-organizer Jack Rickard says the convention is drawing people from across the country, as well as countries such as Canada and Australia. He says many attendees are coordinating electric car projects with people on other continents, and the convention gives them a chance to meet.
The convention also will offer electric-vehicle drag races and autocross Friday afternoon.
