DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our third live event and lunch this year! No
  prepays\, please pay cash/check at door. The idea for this lunchtime sess
 ion at Beeb&#39;s with Don Christian came out of our lively meeting there in A
 pril:\n\nA group of Electric Vehicle enthusiasts raced around the globe in
  2016\, recharging with local electric power only. The group crossed 20 co
 untries in Europe\, North America\, and Asia\, and covered 28\,962 km (18\
 ,026 all-electric road miles). This represented a unique test for their 11
  assorted EVs\, and for charging on local utility power only. The team cro
 ssed vast stretches where NO EV chargers exist. They encountered many othe
 r problems: navigation\, communications\, geograpy\, languages\, automotiv
 e reliability\, electrical\, immigration\, politics\, potholes\, accidents
 \, and flat tires.\nEV driver and IEEE Sr Life Member Don Christian will g
 ive an account of this global adventure trip. Don has has worked at high-t
 ech companies around the world\, largely in silicon valley\, and is listed
  on many US and foreign patents. He holds BSCIS from Ohio State and MSEE f
 rom SMU Dallas. He drives one of the EVs that he manufactured in China.\n\
