Mike Brown

Mike was a serious EV advocate who provided invaluable assistance to those of us struggling with maintenance problems. I believe he would be elated to see that they are now available and supported by the major car companies in the world.

Mike will always be remembered for his EV knowledge and his willingness to share it with many of us as we struggled to build an EV or maintain one of the miscellaneous semi-functional models available years ago.

I am sad to hear that our community has lost Mike Brown, a long time EV supporter, advocate, parts supplier, writer and EVlist contributor. He and Shari were there when we needed help trying to convert cars or work on conversions we hoped would provide us with clean transportation. Electro Automotive is an important constituent in EV history. My condolences to Shari and other family members.

I am very sad to hear Mike passed away. We met back in the mid 70's when I was living in Boulder Creek and he had the station and shop in Ben Lomond. He was funny, kind, an excellent mechanic; helped me learn about cars and how to maintain them. He found me a new VW body when mine got wrecked, put it all back together for me and let me pay in installments. It was very distinctive with the steel plate riveted over the sunroof opening. So many stories, but all boiled down to a unique, quirky,...

Mike - the man who was always there to help in just the right way and share his wealth of knowledge - may peace be with you and your family.
