National Drive Electric Week, September 9-17, 2017, is a nationwide celebration to heighten awareness of today’s widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more. They are fun to drive, are less expensive and more convenient to fuel than gasoline vehicles, are better for the environment, promote local jobs, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Are you considering going electric? Come talk to owners who have successfully done so.
Plug In America, the Sierra Club, and the Electric Auto Association have teamed up to organize plug-in parades, tailpipe-free tailgate parties, test-drives and many other grassroots activities that promote driving electric through National Drive Electric Week events.
The goal of National Drive Electric Week is to get owners of plug-in cars together with the general public so that the general public can learn from the owners what plug-in cars are like in the real world. We hope that this will lead more people to think about working a plug-in vehicle into a future purchase.
We are excited to be hosting our National Drive Electric Day event in downtown Santa Cruz for the first time! Cooper Street between Pacific Avenue and Front Street will be closed to traffic and we will have a number of the most popular electric vehicles on display. Join us to view these vehicles up close and talk with owners and EV experts. In addition, we will be offering test drives and will also have electric bike test rides.
The event will also feature information booths where you can talk with local solar companies who have experience in installing home charging stations, gather educational resources from our Monterey Bay Electric Vehicle Alliance/Electric Auto Association booth and more.
Our event will be next to the new Abbott Square Marketplace which just opened and features a number of restaurants which we hope you will take advantage of while at our event.
