Event Report
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 social gathering limitations in our state, we could not have ride & drives and needed to keep the event smaller than our typical NDEW.We would like to take a moment to thank the National level sponsors of NDEW2020: Plug In America, Sierra Club, Electric Auto Association, Nissan, Electrify America, and Clipper Creek. We would also like to take a moment to thank our local sponsors of this event: Clean Fuels Ohio, Smart Columbus, EV United, Buckeye Nissan, and Kelci Crawford (artist).
Throughout the 2 hours, a variety of vehicles dropped by including: Tesla (S, X, 3, and Y), Kia Niro EV, Nissan Leaf, Fiat 500e, Hyundai Ioniq, Chevy Bolt, Chevy Volt, and an electric assist bicycle. We had drawings for door prizes, shared informational handouts, and appreciated everyone staying safe distanced with masks on during the event.
