Event Description
The only in-person NDEW event in Michigan! A variety of electric vehicles will be on hand for show and tell, including Teslas, Chevy Bolts, Nissan Leaf, Mini Cooper SE, and at least one Zero motorcycle! Owners will answer questions and share their real-world EV experiences with the general public. We'll have our literature table with current information about other vehicles, home and public charging infrastructure, utility programs, etc. If you are curious but don't know much about modern EVs, this is your best chance to see what they are really like, how they can benefit the planet and your pocketbook!
EV Drivers: Please sign up to bring your vehicle for all or part of the afternoon. Feel free to contact us for more info. Plans could change, but as of now we are planning an in-person event as usual, but without test drives. The new SW Michigan chapter of EAA is the official organizer of this event, but see also Kalamazoo Electric Vehicle Association on Facebook.
CoViD-19 precautions will be observed! This entire event will be outdoors. Do not attend if you have any symptoms associated with CoViD-19, which include but are not limited to: persistent cough, fever, shortness of breath, loss of sense of taste or smell.
