Event Description
New Jersey Electric Vehicle Association will be leading EV show at the Wild Earth Fest at the Trailside Nature & Science Center in Mountainside, NJ. The show is expected to attract over 4,500 visitors from Union County. Wild Earth Fest is an educational event to promote awareness and appreciation of global and local conservation issues, including energy, recycling, land and wildlife conservation and pollution. Wild Earth Fest will inform visitors about these issues through displays, talks, demonstrations, and fun family activities.
Although the event starts at 11 am, we are asked to setup by 9:30 by the latest. If you arrive late we cannot guarantee admission to the event.
We are looking for 5-10 plugin electric vehicles at all times. When you register, please mention in the comments your availability and flexibility - either 10:00am-5:00pm, 10:00am-1;30pm, or 1:30pm-5:00pm.
In appreciation of your time, lunch will be provided to all EV owners who come for at least 3 hours and actively participate by engaging visitors in conversation on their experience driving electric. You are welcome to bring the entire family but lunch is for 1 person only. If you stay for the entire length and have 2 parties, both will get lunch.
Bring a reusable water bottle and sunscreen.
If you have a T-shirt with NJEVA logo, please wear it. NJEVA t-shirts, car magnets and stickers will be offered to those who have not received it, yet.
