Event Report
For the third year running the EV Advocates of Ventura County participated in the Port of Hueneme's Festival. Our footprint was limited to 8 vehicles so we brought a variety for event goers to examine. Each vehicle with their owner were on point to explain the benefits of driving electric, and the specific attributes of the EV.

Event Description
Join hundreds from our community in celebrating The Port of Hueneme which is truly a diverse working port. This festival has many features including Port Tours, a Kids Zone, Live Bands, Tasty Eats (banana themed) and shopping fun.
In addition, there will be an EV Showcase and Educational Booth provided by the Electric Vehicle Advocates of Ventura County. Interact with members of the group, some of whom have years of experience in owning and driving electric vehicles. This first-hand knowledge is provided to answer your questions and prepare you for EV ownership. Informational topics include available EV’s, rebates and incentives, charging at home, the workplace or while on the road. If you want to install an EV charger in your home, we can help to walk you through the process. Bring your questions, we have the answers…
The port not only is a major banana transfer point, but it is also one of the top ten ports in the US for automobile imports and exports. Some of the vehicles brought through the port will also be on display and may include EV’s from BMW, Volvo, Jaguar, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Tesla, and Subaru.
The Port of Hueneme is a recognized leader in sustainable port operations and has been certified as a “Green Marine Certified since 2018. If you take the Port Tour you will observe the program use of electric cranes, forklifts, and yard tractors. There even is program to provide shore power to the cargo ships to have them shut down the engines while in port.
