Event Report

Rivian SUV was the most popular. 

Despite strong efforts to publicize the event (the only one in all of Chicagoland that day) we were disappointed with the turnout - again! 

Event Description

 

Come learn about many different electric vehicle (EV) models available from your friends and neighbors at our local EV exhibit in the parking lot of St. John’s Church at 1235 Wilmette Avenue in Wilmette. Check out the Rivian truck and SUV, and a variety of EVs from Tesla, Hyundai, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, Nissan and more. Learn more about local and road-trip charging options. 

How can you be a part of the show?  Register to add YOUR car to our exhibit and tell people why they should drive electric! Help spread the word by letting others know about this EV exhibit. 

This event is hosted by Go Green Wilmette, a community-based non-profit focused on creating a more sustainable community. Visit gogreenwilmette.org and gogreenillinois.org for more information. 

PARKING INSTRUCTIONS:  There will be no parking in the St. John's lot as it will be filled with EV's!  Use nearby street parking, the municipal lot north of the Wilmette Public Library lot (please do not park in the library lot), the parking along Poplar Drive south of Wilmette Avenue and east of Green Bay Road, or the large Metra lot on the east side of Green Bay Road north of Central Avenue. All parking options are free. Bathroom facilities available at the Wilmette Public Library.
