Event Report

Continuing the tradition of hosting the local NDEW at our harbor, this year we brought together 64 EVs with their owners to mingle , discuss and showcase their vehicles to event participants. We had a full adjacent parking lot with harbor visitors who passed through our event. The sun did indeed come out later making it a great day overall.
Along with the vehicles we had educational booths from the Sierra Club, the Electricians Local 952, the Clean Power Alliance, Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, The City of Ventura Sustainability Division, Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance, the Community Environmental Council, The Clea Cities Coalition, snd the Santa Barbara County APCD.
Working EVs in the showcase included the Ventura harbor Districts new F150 Lightning patrol vehicle and Transit work van, Ocean View School Districts 72 passenger EV Bluebird Bus, two EV Pizza delivery vehicles ad a locative Cybertruck equipped as a multi fuel delivery vehicle (electricity and some kind of other liquid fuels.)
Needless to say, we are looking forward to next years event.

Event Description

 

This year we will be returning with another outstanding event to the Ventura Harbor Village. Over on the main lawn you will find an amazing showcase of electric vehicles. There will be Cars, Vans, SUV’s, Trucks, Bikes and other electric equipment, even vintage EV conversions.  These cars are displayed by their owners who have years of EV ownership and have driven many petroleum free miles. They all are enthusiastic and willing to discuss their experience and answer your questions about owning and living with an EV.

If you own an EV, register with the RSVP button and bring your vehicle to the showcase, meet and mingle with members of our local EV community. Enjoy the opportunity to visit the Ventura Harbor Village for some excellent eats and opportunities for shopping, you might even stroll down to the Visitor Center of Channel Islands National Park and learn about the amazing resource just off our coast. (sorry, no chargers out there). 

This will be the 12th National Drive Electric Week Showcase in Ventura County. Last year’s event displayed 80 vehicles representing 37 models including an electric school bus. Combined EV mileage was over 3 million miles. This year we anticipate having a greater diversity of vehicles, with more owners and experiences to share.

To further your knowledge about electric vehicles, charging options, rebates and electrical options, there will be booths from community organizations and service providers to answer your questions.

This event is sponsored by the Santa Barbara - Ventura Chapter of the Sierra Club, The Clean Power Alliance, and California Clean Air Day.. On the ground organization provided by the EV Advocates of Ventura County.
