Event Report
This was a tabling event at the La Honua 2025 Earth Day Fair, which included scores of local organizations focused on climate action and sustainability. About 900 students and their teachers attended the event. We estimated 400 students visited our booth, which included giveaways and a prize wheel to engage the audience.We had 2 EVs displayed at this event and a table filled with materials for the audience. Attendees were allowed to spin the wheel and answer an electric vehicle or energy-related question corresponding to the number they landed on. If they got the correct answer, they got a snack. (If they missed the answer, we took the opportunity to educate them, and they also got a snack.) This was a hit and appealed to all grade levels.
We also handed out information on EVs to share with the adults in their households. Some adults had questions about EVs, and some EV owners raised questions about charging and service. Overall, it was a really busy and productive event.
