Event Report

This event was part of the Maker Faire at AB Tech, which is why there were only 5 EVs.   However, many people attended this event that was advertised to the greater Asheville Community.   The theme was resilience - nence all the EVs had V2G or V2L and there were lots of solar and battery displays.  

Here's a video of the event:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfBer9_Sc2w by Steve O'Neil.

Event Description

 

UPDATE:  We will have a very limited space at this event and are currently unable to support any additional vehicle displays at the event.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out and join the attendees of Asheville Maker Faire 2025.  It is a wonderful event.  All EV club members are welcome to hang out with the club display and chat about EVs with other attendees.

After a devastating Helene, this year the BREV Club is focusing on "Resilience through EVs".  Come out to the Asheville Maker Faire and see how EVs helped many get through the storm and provided relief to others without power.   In addition,  learn about the diversity of EVs on the market today.  There is something for everyone...
