National Drive Electric Week 9-21

We had such a fun time at the St. Louis Science Center for National Drive Electric Week!  It was fun to meet so many other EV enthusiasts and owners.  It was also great fun to introduce people to EVs and help them see that yes, they can be affordable and yes, our EV car is our FAMILY car.  We parked on the end so we could open up all the doors and trunk and let people sit in the car.    And we had a little grassy area for people to stand in the shade and chat. 

We let's kids plug in the car (even though it was not connected to an outlet).  We let mothers see that all my kid gear does fit in the  trunk!  Even though we almost never use one, I even put a stroller in the trunk.  (Since then I have hauled a giant double stroller and a turtle sand box.  Yes, these fit too!) 

 

It was fun to see other cars there.  My husband and I used to build, design, and race solar powered cars on long, cross country races.  So it was extra fun to see a solar minivan there! 

We really enjoyed seeing other cars up close! 

We passed out business cards for this blog and heard from folks that people thought we got a really good deal on our Leaf.  I agree!  (I even had our salesman's name on the card - since he was super knowledgeable.  Unlike most other Nissan salesmen . . . )

Next year I hope to have more to hand out and a big sign.  The more folks that can see this as a family car would open up a whole new market!!

Did you attend this year?  Will you next year?  Post below!!
