Event Report
Bakersfield's 2019 National Drive Electric Week event took place on Saturday, September 14th at Urner's. We had four local car dealers provide nine vehicles for test drives and display. Seven local EV owners brought their vehicles and were able to provide first-hand experience to attendees. Additionally, two electric car sharing organizations (Green Commuter and Mio Car) were present with their vehicles providing information on their services. Those who test drove received free tacos and treats from Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Sparkletts, and Nothing Bundt Cakes. There were also several prize drawings that attendees were eligible to win, with the largest prize being valued at $300.

Event Description
Join us for an electric vehicle ride & drive!
On behalf of Project Clean Air, the San Joaquin Valley Clean Cities Coalition, and the San Joaquin Valley Electric Vehicle Partnership, we will be hosting an electric vehicle ride & drive that will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 14, 2019 at Urner's in Bakersfield, CA. There will be FREE tacos for test drives in addition to kids activities, informational materials from local businesses, and handouts on EV incentives.
This 2019 NDEW event will demonstrate that not only are plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) fun to drive, but also that fuel and maintenance costs are much less than gas-powered vehicles. In the San Joaquin Valley, which has some of the worst air quality in the nation, regional incentives are offered by air districts in addition to the state rebate and federal tax credit that may be available to those who purchase EVs.
