The Lawrence Electric Vehicle Showcase is organized annually by the Sustainability Action Network.  Our third annual EV Showcase will be at a new location, South Park, just south of vibrant downtown.  Masks will be required for all participants, and practice personal distancing.  Thank you.

We're holding our EV showcase in conjunction with the Rev It Up Hot Rod Show and Street Festival, a highly popular show of classic cars, hot rods, and exotic cars.  A new addition this year will be large commercial electric vehicles.  There will be an electric bus from GreenPower Motor Company, a Gillig electric bus from the City of Lawrence, an electric terminal truck from Orange EV, and several electric bicycles from Trek Bikes of Lawrence.  The public will be able to talk with EV owners, see a wide array of EVs, and learn the advantages of driving an EV.

The U.S. transportation sector now produces more climate-warming emissions than does the electric generation sector.  Plug-in EVs are zero-carbon when charged with renewable energy.  And even if charged by coal-fired electricity, the greater efficiency of EVs means lower carbon emissions.   EVs get 100mpg equivalent or better, and the driving range of various makes is from 200 miles to 520 miles for the new Tesla Model S Plaid.  Electric bicycles are the most energy efficient choice of all.  A 150lb cyclists will use 1/20th the amount of energy than will a 3000lb car traveling the same distance.
