Event Report

We had a really great turn out. One fella drove from Arkansas in his Chevy Volt. Very cool. Some new cars we had the privileged to see were the all new Toyota Prius Prime (Thank you Kai), A 2018 plug-in Hybrid Mini Cooper Countryman (Thank you Roadshow MINI). The weather was great and the park was packed so we had more folks than we could count that checked out all the electric cars, asked questions, and listened to all the cool stories EV owners had to share about driving electric. Thank you Shelby Farms Park for hosting us this year. Thank you Roadshow BMW and Roadshow MINI for providing the BMW i3 and the plug-in hybrid Mini Cooper Countryman. Thank you to all the EV owners for bringing your cars and being a part of this event.
