Event Report
The event was featured on the local nightly news (Channel KVEW-42, ABC affiliate). More than 20 EV drivers supported the event by describing their vehicles, answering questions and offering rides or even test-drives to those interested. The support was overwhelming by the local EV drivers, but even more impressive was the interest from the public. Several people came out specifically for the opportunity to learn more about what models were available and talk to EV drivers before making their first EV purchase.
Event Description
Energy Northwest and the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Transportation Alliance (EVITA) are organizing and hosting a Drive Electric Earth Day event at Kennewick's fast charging station located at the Southridge Sports and Events Complex, 2901 Southridge Boulevard, Kennewick.
