Default Photos from eVgo rollout in 2010 - Houston

In 2010 I went to the Houston roll-out of the eVgo charging network (a project of NRG) there were several EV's there including Aptera, represented by PW. Here are the photos I took that day:

This was my only chance to see an Aptera in person, and sit in it. I chatted briefly with PW, and got the impression he was rather annoyed at the whole affair and having to be there.

I still would like to see a simple photoset ID'ing each car with the designations used here on the forum. I'm unclear as how to tell PP from SO from Typ-1!

The fat, bloated looking one, is the fatSO-1. Easy to spot.

Hey, they had fixed the ill-fitting hood, at least.

Actually they didn't. Look at picture #6. It's just a trick of the lighting.

It isn't perfectly fixed, but it is much better than at the X-Prize; where I saw it in person.
