Event Report
This is our SIXTH consecutive EVent at the CCSU campus and it was Connecticut's first site in 2012! Working with Prof Button of CCSU, we reserved parking spots near the two level 2 chargers behind the student center. The afternoon of the event, we set up the signs, information table, tent, and then EVs/ PHEVs started arriving! Timing was perfect as some students were finishing classes while others were heading off to class. Lots of inquisitive minds asking good questions about what it's like to own a plug-in.
