There were also electric cars at this first event in 2012, of course. But none of them could do more than a hundred km on a charge! What's more, there were no charging stations at all the rally points. To handle that issue, AJAC brought an electric generator powered by... a diesel engine, and installed on a trailer pulled by ... a big pickup!

For the invited participants, the task at hand was: to drive these vehicles on a route that would take us from the Toronto area to Collinwood and then Tobermory on the Georgian Bay shore.
