Event Report

It would be useful in the future, if you are capturing data from city captains, to provide a confirmation number or code after data was submitted to make sure both parties were successful in transmitting and receiving said data. That said, I'm once again giving you my best guess as I did not require those giving rides and drives to log those items.
Attendance, at least 100 throughout the day.
Number of plug in vehicles, approximately 40
Number of ride and drives - approximately 20 - 25.

Event Description

 


I would like to cordially invite you to Drive Electric Week – Pittsburgh.  We’ll be having an electric car tailgate gathering at Heinz Field to showcase the features, advantages, and benefits of driving an electric vehicle.   If you have an electric car, or are curious about them, this is your opportunity to get behind the wheel! (This is NOT a sales event.)

Electric vehicles are a great alternative to gas powered transportation.  Less polluting, fun to drive, and more cost efficient, especially with the cost of gas today, and in the future.  

The list of confirmed cars and attendees is below.  This event is free and open to everyone.   More details coming in the next few days. Register today! Thank you.
