Event Report
This was the first year in which the City of Bellevue participated as a local National Drive Electric Week event partner. The City made its recently completed Downtown Park available for the celebration. The fabulous weather and beautiful park setting provided the perfect opportunity for PEV drivers and the general public to:
* view an unusually wide variety of EVs including several not usually for sale in Washington, a non-ZEV mandate state;
* candidly talk with the numerous northwest EV drivers present;
* view Fiat 500e autographed by Clint Eastwood;
* learn insider EV buyer tips from Ray Ishak, 2X Nissan's #1 EV salesperson in the world;
* meet Dave Cloud, the NW's legendary EV conversion builder and designer/builder of the electrathon which holds the current world land speed record;
* step aboard Metro Transit's e-Bus, one of several which has been in regular service on local Bellevue routes for more than a year;
* learn about BMW of Bellevue's exquisite BMW i-8 on display.
