Event Report

The Juneau, Alaska NDEW EV Round Up was the 6th year of continued Juneau EV Growth. Despite the down pour of rain, a very successful event  for EV Owners, but also for prospective EV purchasers.

Our Mayor, Beth Weldon and many of our elected Assembly Members were on hand and provided a City and Borough of Juneau EV proclamation commemorating NDEW and the Juneau Round Up to coincide with Juneau's continued growth of EV's and public/private partnerships on local EV charging stations. Many new Teslas and Chevy Bolts participating for the first time to include Juneau First EV Taxi, a Chevy Bolt.

Additionally, Juneau, Alaska probably had the only NDEW event that also sported an "electric boat" customized to take on Alaskan seas with electric outboard motors.  A family fun event that served hundreds of burgers, hot dogs and hot coffee for the wet day.

A great set of sponsors to include our local IBEW 1547 that generously grilled for the event. Other sponsors include Juneau District Heating, Mendenhall Auto, Renewable Juneau, Org350Juneau, Tongass Rain Electric Cruise, Alaska Grafix, AEL&P, Juneau Hydropower, Inc. ,City and Borough of Juneau, and the Juneau Economic Development Council.  A special thanks to the Juneau Empire for covering the event and taking photos.
