Event Report
Our objective was to educate people in southeastern Idaho
about EVs, create opportunities for answering EV related questions and to
promote the sponsoring organizations: Idaho
Conservation League, Portneuf Resource Council (PRC), Idaho Power (IPC), and
Idaho State University. National Drive
Electric Week (NDEW) provided an internet web site that gave event information
and participant registration. There was a nice diversity of plug-in hybrid and
fully electric vehicles which clearly demonstrated they are a viable
transportation option. The EV owners talked to 250 to 300 people over the
course of five hours. They answered
questions concerning range anxiety, price, cost of and time to charge, as well
as their experience driving and maintaining their electric vehicle. In addition, a representative from the Office of
Energy and Mineral Resources and SemaConnect, a charging station installer,
were also there.
