Event Report
NDEW at Yachats Farmer's Market. We had an information table inside the market, 3 display cars on the other side of the fence in a parking lot, and 2 drive and ride Teslas at the West Coast Electric Hwy. charging station within sight, but a short walk from the market. The set-up was a bit fragmented to be ideal, but we made the best of it. Again, we were blessed with terrific owners who shared information about the cars and their enthusiasm was infectious. Though we had a smaller number of people than the event the day before, the questions and conversations were very high quality. One of our participants drove up from Florence with his LEAF and he is motivated to have a NDEW event in Florence next year--a very positive outcome!

Event Description
We will have a table at the farmers market with posters and information about EVs. A car display area will be co-located with the market by the West Coast Electric Highway charging station.
We are planning to bring our LEAF and Tesla Model S, but welcome any other EV owners who would like to join us. When we drove to Yachats a few weeks ago and stopped to charge, another EV drove up and plugged in also. The two cars drew a crowd of interested people asking questions, so we thought it was a natural to add this location to our other NDEW events on the central Oregon coast this year. If we can plot out a safe route through the pedestrian traffic around the market, we may also do ride and drives.
Hope to see more EV owners there!
