Curious about Driving Electric?  EV Enthusiast?

If so, help us celebrate 2016 National Drive Electric Week at Electric Vehicle Day in Brookline, MA.  On Saturday, September 17, 2016 from 9:00 am-12:00 pm, come see how people like you are driving Oil Free.  Speak with new and experienced owners of electric vehicles and see dozens of different examples of electric transportation side by side.  Bring your questions or your own electric vehicle and share the enthusiasm for the morning at the historic Larz Anderson Auto Museum, 15 Newton Street, Brookline MA.  

National Drive Electric Week, celebrating its sixth anniversary this year, is based on the idea that nothing beats learning the ropes from existing owners who ride-and-drive in clean, quiet and powerful plug-in vehicles, for converting gasoline-car drivers to EV owners. The event showcases the cost-savings, clean-air benefits and fun of plug-ins. Plug In America, the Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association team up with local groups to organize events, which feature all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric cars from every automaker on the market.

Benefits of driving an electric car:

·       Lower operational costs– The estimated cost of electricity needed to power an electric car is about a third of the cost of gasoline.

·       Lower maintenance costs– cars have fewer moving parts than gas-powered vehicles.

·       Zero operating emissions– The emissions associated with electric cars is limited to that coming from power plants generating electricity to charge the batteries, not from tailpipe emissions.

·       Overall reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions– CO2 is the principal gas associated with climate change.

·       Reduced pollution to oceans, rivers and ground water – Decreased use of petroleum gasoline and motor oil means fewer spills.

·       Relief from urban noise pollution– Electric motors are quiet as well as clean

·       Cleaner air, better living!

This free EV Day event will be an informal version of other themed lawn events held on the Larz Anderson Auto Museum grounds where attendees and owners will have the opportunity to show their vehicles and see a wide range of conversions and new production models available on the market.   Open to any 2-4 wheel conversion, custom build or modern factory built plug-in electric vehicle and other sustainable forms of transportation.
