Hello from the West Coast,<\/p>\n

$\"The$ <\/a>It is March 20th and I have been on the road all month. I have visited\u00a0Redding, CA with Ed Malazo. Ed is an Up Your Voltage\u00a0(UYV) Graduate and is also an automotive instructor in this Northern California town. I\u00a0taught\u00a0a hybrid \/ EV class to a group of techs from 75 to 17 years old, really!\u00a0 They cooked food on the grill and we had a great time. Today I am in Washington State having taught classes in Portland, Oregen and Salem, the capital city and B.C.\u00a0 Bill Gastone allowed me to teach a three part class at the Oregon State Prison. That was an experience that is rare and thought provoking.\u00a0\u00a0I have noticed that this year more techs than ever are more serious about hybrid and EV training.\u00a0Why, I don’t know, but the first two UYV\u00a0\u00a0classes were sold out before the end of January. \u00a0ACDC is adding staff to keep up with the demand.<\/p>\n

I also have taught in many other towns along the way\u00a0and will be heading for a cruise ship to Nassua with Deb at months end.\u00a0This hybrid \/ EV business gets more interesting every day.<\/p>\n

The ACDC Gen II Prius that is on the road with me has over 143K\u00a0miles. It is amazing what you can load into this Hybrid\u00a0and it still gets 44 mpg even fully loaded.\u00a0\u00a0The new VOLT is also doing well and has over 20K and about 5,000 of then are EV miles. It has\u00a0a lifetime average of over 52 mpg. One of the most patriotic acts you can do is buy\u00a0a VOLT.\u00a0 One of our ACDC graduates\u00a0in Australia tells me the VOLT goes on sale there soon as\u00a0a HOLDEN VOLT.\u00a0 The future looks good.<\/p>\n

On the road in the North West,<\/p>\n

Craig<\/p>\n

Want to hear what our students say\u00a0“a Short Video<\/a>”\u00a0\u00a0 Read some of their notes sent to us over the years<\/a><\/p>\n

Craig<\/p>\n

I wanted to let you know that Up Your Voltage was top-notch training<\/strong>.\u00a0 I attend a lot of training and I can honestly say that your class is the best I have ever attended.<\/strong>\u00a0 The thing that impressed me the most was the organization of it all.\u00a0 Everything I needed was at that hotel.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t have to go anywhere for meals or travel anywhere for the training sessions.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t even spend any money while I was there!\u00a0 Craig delivered invaluable, intense, hands-on training<\/strong> which was a welcome relief from some of the watered-down training that is so popular in our industry today. So I thank you for a great learning experience.\u00a0 Thank you for all the hard work in keeping us all content with food, shelter and everyday needs.\u00a0\u00a0 Thank you for the dedication you both have to not only the automotive industry <\/strong>but to the people you take in at your classes.\u00a0\u00a0 Sincerely, Dave Hauck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
