Boulder Public Library, Meadows Branch (map)
The February meeting will be at the Meadows Branch of the Boulder Public Library, located at 4800 Baseline Road in Boulder. We will have a presentation by Dr. John Olson, who started his career in battery technology at Optima Batteries in 1994. His first assignment was to develop a deep cycle version of the Optima for EVs. The Optima soon became the choice for EV batteries, and in particular EV racing. John will share some stories and pictures from those early days of EV development. There will be time for Q&A about battery technology following the presentation.
