Event Report
Our 2nd year event focused on trying to show the public the wide variety of EVs available to the public. Once again, the number of vehicles & owners that came EXCEEDED pre-registrations, so we had more than 20 models of EVs ranging from the newest arrivals such as: Audi e-Tron, Jaguar i-Pace, Hyundai Kona EV, Kia Niro EV, and Subaru Crosstrek and we were fortunate to have a number of classic & rarely seen EVs in attendance such as Chevy Spark EV, Honda Fit EV, Mercedes Benz B Class EV, and Tesla Roadster.

Event Description
The 2nd Annual National Drive Electric Week West Windsor will be co-located at the West Windsor Farmers Market on Vaughn Drive (2 Vaughn Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540 according to Google Maps), adjacent to the Princeton Jct train station.
Come and speak with current EV (Electric Vehicle) owners about their experience driving and hear directly from them about their REAL WORLD experience with common EV concerns such as:
* aren't EVs more expensive than ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles?
* isn't it a hassle to charge an EV?
* how messy is charging an EV (I don't like refueling my ICE vehicle bc of the smell and having to handle the nozzle)?
* how hard is it to charge an EV when I'm away from home?
* how would I know where to charge my EV when I'm away from home?
* don't EVs have far less driving range than ICE vehicles?
* aren't EVs expensive to maintain?
* aren't there just too small a selection of EVs on the market today?
* isn't it more expensive to insure an EV?
