Electric vehicle developer Arcimoto will open its new showroom at 543 Blair Blvd. in the Whiteaker to host what it’s calling a “Plug-in Party” on Friday from 4-6 p.m. The event is open to the public and is scheduled to coincide with the Whiteaker’s Last Friday Art Walk [ http://www.eugeneweekly.com/image/last-friday-art-walk ]. Arcimoto, which was founded by Mark Frohnmayer in 2007, will reveal its plans to bring its newest generation three-wheeled electric vehicle to market. It also is an opportunity for electric vehicle dealers and enthusiasts to display and talk about their cars and the public to learn about these vehicles and the impact they can have on reducing air emissions and curbing dependence on fossil fuels, advocates say. “The intent of this party is to connect the community of politicians, companies and agencies that all have the same mission — to help answer the ultimate question of why we as a community are adopting electric vehicles,” said Jesse Fittipaldi, business development lead at Arcimoto. The Lane Regional Air Protection Agency and the Eugene Water and Electric Board are partnering with Arcimoto on this event. An EWEB representative will arrive in one of EWEB’s 2015 Ford Focus plug-in sedans, spokesman Joe Harwood said. She will share information about EWEB’s new Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Loan Program, which provides 4 percent loans for commercial customers to purchase and install Level 1, Level 2 or DC fast chargers at their business or in multifamily housing with shared parking for tenants, he said. EWEB’s main reason for participating in Friday’s event is to reduce carbon emissions, Harwood said. “Approximately 30 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gasses come from the transportation sector, and about 60 percent of that can be attributed to personal vehicle use,” he said. Arcimoto’s showroom is in the space between the Mame sushi bar and Hard Times Distillery’s tasting room. It is not in Arcimoto’s design and production shop across Blair Boulevard.
