David, thanks for remembering Gail with the EVDL page. We used to
correspond frequently years ago, less so recently. Gail is the reason I
host Dale Wendorff's C-Car project pages to this day.

We never managed to meet, though as a fellow Canuck with NS roots, we
established an instant link via email.
She was an inspiration and EV advocate who drove the talk.
A sad day, EVs are far more mainstream today, but we still need more
pioneers to complete the transition to zero-emission.

It grieves me to report that we've lost a longtime EV list contributor.
Gail Lucas passed away on 29 October in Las Vegas, where she'd lived since
the late 1970s. Her sister was at her side.
In 1992, Gail gave away her prized 1972 Cadillac Eldorado ICEV and went
fully electric. I lost count of all the EVs she collected over the years,
but the ones I knew of included a Clarence Ellers-built Aztec kit car, a
Bradley GT II Electric, a converted VW Beetle, a Westinghouse Markette, at
least a half-dozen Citicars and Comuta-Cars, and at least two E-bikes.
She especially loved the C-Cars. They suited her needs perfectly, and were
easy to drive and park.
Gail was fully dedicated to zero-emission motoring. In 1996 she posted on
this list, "I do not maintain an ICE. If I can't get somewhere via an
acceptable mode of transportation, I don't go."
She was involved with the Las Vegas EAA (Electric Auto Association) chapter.
Here on the EV list, she probably answered as many C-Car questions as she
asked.
I've added a memorial page to the EVDL library.
