The City Vice Mayor presented a proclamation a month before the event. The City Manager presented the proclamation to kick off the event. All of the registered exhibitors came to the event. During National Drive Electric Week, but before the event the city we partnered with voted on and approved having a green committee and also voted on and approved the purchase of a public L2 charging station from sema connect that will be installed at a city beach access.

Event Description
Learn all about the differences in the various models like some that have a built in gasoline generator that automatically starts when the battery runs out so you can take long trips without worrying about where to plug in. Or how the Tesla Model S can use the Supercharger stations throughout the US along highways for a super fast charge on long trips for free for life! Pack some food, stay with friends, and leave your wallet at home!
If you have questions about driving electric bring them to the Space Coast EV Drivers club and try to stump our members who have been driving them every day for several years. Sign up here as an attendee or volunteer if you want to help out during the event. Thanks for visiting and we'll see you in September!
