Organized and run by Electric Vehicle owners as a part of Earth Week activities coordinated by the United Climate Action Network, Cazenovia (and all of Central New York State) takes part in Drive Electric Earth Day, a free event starting at 10:00 am at Lakeland Park at 11 Forman Street in Cazenovia. At approximately 10:45 am we will have a police escort for the electric vehicle owners to the Cazenovia American Legion Post 88 at 26 Chenango Street where the event will continue until 3 pm. The event is open to the public. Electric vehicle owners and enthusiasts will display their vehicles, answer your questions, and highlight the fun, clean-air benefits, and cost-savings of electric cars. You can talk to owners, take a ride in an Electric Vehicle, or even drive one. The Nye Automotive Group will also bring plug-in vehicles available to test drive including, but not limited to:

• Toyota bZ4X
• Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid
• Jeep Wrangler or Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid
• Chevy Blazer EV, if available
• VW ID.4
  

You can view a list of the plug-in vehicles owner's registered to bring at the bottom of this page.

Note: We encourage you to visit the food truck serving Vietnamese food at the American Legion. There are also other options within a half mile from the American Legion.

Remember to visit the many environmentally friendly organizations and displays inside the American Legion, too.
