Event Report
The event was held at a venue at the center of the metro Atlanta population in Alpharetta GA at Avalon, a master planned city center community. Six sponsors supported the event including one Public Utility, three EV charging companies (one with Solar), two Auto OEMs (Nissan and BMW) and the local EV Club. The venue provided space for exhibitor tents with tables. There were 33 EVs from private owners and 5 from OEMs and 1 from the City of Atlanta Corrections Department (the PoLEAF) and a VIA powered pick up truck from GA Power. We organized the EVs by region of origin (NA, EU, Asia) and had a Tesla owners group in front of the Tesla store. We distributed EV Fact Sheets and interacted with dozens of event goers. We had two Mayors (David Belle Isle, Alpharetta GA and Ted Terry, Clarkston GA), one Public Utility as presenting sponsor and the City of Atlanta Director of Sustainability to speak to kick off the event. Literature was provided at each of the Sponsor tables/tents
