About Electric Vehicle Test Drive & Climate Change Panel Event

The Monterey Bay Electric Vehicle Alliance and Ecology Action will be hosting a Climate Change Panel & Electric Vehicle Test Drive event on Thursday March 1st from 10am to Noon at Ecology Action in downtown Santa Cruz. Local sustainability managers from across the Monterey Bay Area will be discussing a number of critical topics including:

* What role electric vehicles play in addressing climate change
* What our local jurisdictions are doing to support electric vehicle adoption
* What obstacles they are facing to advance electric vehicles
* How community members can support their efforts

By popular demand, we'll have the 2018 Nissan Leaf available for test drives. We'll hear from Santa Cruz Nissan on the new features of the 2018 Nissan Leaf (which has a 150+ all electric range). We will also have some of the most popular electric bikes on the market available for test rides thanks to Current eBikes, our local e-bike vendor in Santa Cruz. Current eBikes will provide an overview of electric bike features and capabilities and will have 5-6 e-bikes available to ride. We will have 1-2 additional EVs available for test drives.

Coffee and light refreshments will be provided. This is a FREE event. Test drive sign-ups will take place in the beginning of the meeting in Ecology Action's main conference room on the second floor at 877 Cedar Street. For questions, please contact Emily Gomez at egomez(at)ecoact.org or 831-515-1328.
