How to reduce range anxiety

10 August 2012

(Odometer: 31,109 miles)

VANCOUVER, B.C.–On the road, we ran into cool technologies and cool places to work engineering magic. Rarely did we find both at the same spot. But then we pulled into Saturna Green Systems here.

Tucked inside a small pedestrian office mall in the trendy Gastown district, Saturna Green is trying to take the anxiety out of driving all-electric vehicles, specifically electric scooters by a novel mashup of display technologies, ARM processors and clever algorithms.

(Pictured right, Eric Wilson and Tarek Ward of Saturna Green Systems ponder how to set up a video segment involving their electric scooter).

Clive Wright, the senior vice president of engineering, showed off an application of the technology on a warm, sunny day here and then described the engineering challenges he and his team faced in building a product that has to deal with so many environmental and user considerations.

He also talked about how the project has pushed him out of his own engineering comfort zone!
