The third annual Lawrence Electric Vehicle Showcase has unfortunately been canceled, due to the shocking resurgence of Cov-ID19.  Kansas is among the top 14 states with the most rapid Cov-ID19 spread.  The decision was by the majority of our EV drivers, many of whom are elderly and leery about a face-to-face, hand-shaking type of event.  Our partner in the show, the Rev It Up Car Show, has not decided yet whether to hold their show or cancel.

The event had been organized by the Sustainability Action Network with the help of our co-sponsor, The Sierra Club/Wakarusa Group.  Our goal is to electrify all transportation, so it achieves zero emissions.

The Lawrence EV Showcase will be at a new location, South Park, just south of vibrant downtown Lawrence.  We're holding our showcase in conjunction with Rev It Up Car Show, a highly popular show of classic cars, hot rods, and exotic cars.  The public will be able to talk with EV owners, and learn the advantages of driving an EV.

The U.S. transportation sector now produces more climate warming emissions than does the electric generation sector.  Plug-in EVs are zero carbon when charged with renewable energy.   And even if charged by coal fired electricity, the greater efficiency of EVs means lower carbon emissions.  EVs get 100mpg equivalent or better, and the driving range of various makes is from 100 miles to 370 miles.
