I've been in contact with Lyle Hufstetler of aacog.com Alamo Area Clean Cities Coalition to gather more detail of this 2020 year's Earth Day EVent, displaying plugins, talking to the public, giving rides, etc.
Last year's 2019 EVent was quite good. Though they were only alloted room for 3 plugins (a 1st gen Leaf, Tesla-3, EVs and a Volt pih), the foot traffic was excellent (we helped a lot of people know EVs that day). I was quite pleased that Texans were hungry for EV knowledge. So much so that EVent begain @10am. The Texas sky was blue with large fluffy white clouds billowing across. As time passed, people were hugging their free native tree another booth had given them, while we talked EVs with them. Then those clouds got dark, then a 3 inch down pour sheeting the roadways, then ice-cube size hail came down, then after 20 minutes of all of that, the sun came out and dried all the soaked Texans still enjoying hugging their free trees, and still talking EVs with us (Texans are a tough breed). I thought that day was a blast, and a great introduction to Central South Texas life :-) I've asked Lyle to create a listing on https://driveelectricearthday.org/ and upload the EVent map he shared with me (it shows where the EVs will display, give rides, etc.) Lyle's email stated some EVent detail: - The “selfie trail” will guide visitors from the large vendor area to the demo area. The EV demo will be in a barricaded area along S Josephine Tobin Dr. City staff will have people at each barricade who will be available to move it for EVs to go in and out for ride-alongs. I’m recommending exiting and entering from the northern most barricade at S Josephine Tobin and Woodlawn Ave to avoid the bulk of the pedestrian activity to the south. The event is Saturday, April 18 from 10am-2pm, but I’m recommending arriving at 9:30. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I can forward them to the event organizers ... - I hope to come about 9am to hunt for a parking space. I recommend anyone telling others of the EVent, to come early as you aren't parking in the park, but outside of it (neighborhood streets & then you walk in), which fill up quickly. I hope to add another post to this thread later with an update giving out the url of that EVent (showing details & that map). Until then here is a google map of that portion of the park the EVent will be held: https://goo.gl/maps/FNzrkK9rUv3MGmmq5 To get a taste of the public enjoying previous Earth Days at that park, see the images on: https://www.sanantonio.gov/ParksAndRec/Programs-Classes-Fun/Programs-Classes/Details/ArtMID/14835/ArticleID/17926/Earth-Day-50-Years +more on all of this later :-) For EVLN EV-newswire posts view: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ https://mail-archive.com/ev@lists.evdl.org/maillist.html {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
