The Mission team recently returned from Los Angeles, where we took part in the 26th Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS26). The Symposium, which first took place in Phoenix in 1969, has grown over the years to become one of the premier events on the EV calendar, featuring a great balance of industry leaders, academic research, grassroots enthusiasts and media.
For the conference, Mission was asked to give a poster presentation on our Skyline data acquisition and analysis software. Our Senior Software Architect, Seth LaForge, was on hand to discuss the features and benefits of Skyline along with a demonstration of the Skyline Web Navigator.
It was exciting to see the number of products and services on display at EVS26. The pace of progress continues to build. As it does, the data generated from new product development will grow exponentially. We created Skyline because this data is only useful if it can be harnessed. With its novel web-based visualization and analysis features, that is exactly what Skyline achieves.
To learn more about Skyline, and to check out the actual poster presented at the Symposium, visit the product page located here.
This past Tuesday, Mission Motors had the privilege of hosting San Francisco’s Mayor, Ed Lee, and members of the SF Environment team. The Mayor and his team took a tour of our office and spoke with our team about what it’s like to be a cutting edge vehicle technology company in San Francisco.
Of course, our city is no stranger to innovation or trailblazing green initiatives. The Cleantech Group recently recognized San Francisco as the “Cleantech Capital of North America.” A survey by Siemens and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) found San Francisco to be the greenest major city in the U.S. and Canada. Mayor Ed Lee has grown the electric vehicle infrastructure by installing 49 publicly accessible charging stations to date with a plan to install an additional 29 by the end of 2012. The Mayor is also the proud owner of a Chevy Volt.
Since Mission Motors’ founding in the city’s Mission District in 2007, we have been proud to call San Francisco home. Mission supports Mayor Lee’s green initiatives and we remain committed to the tradition of innovation that makes San Francisco so unique.
