We have had an electric car event here every April since 2012. This year we will be joining up with Drive Electric Earth Day. At this site is the very first municipal public charging station installed in Monroe County by the Town of Penfield.

This event is held in the parking lot of the Penfield Community Center. Restrooms available. There are vending machines in the building.

Information on EVs and demonstrations will be part of the event.

Coffee and donuts will be available for organizers and early birds - provided by Greater Rochester Clean Cities (GRCC).
