The Electric Vehicle Association of Greater DC (EVADC), (a chapter of national Electric Vehicle Association) serving drivers in Maryland, Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia, invites EV Drivers, EV Enthusiasts and the EV Curious to attend our Kick Gas Annapolis EV Showcase. The event will be held on Sunday, May 4, noon to 3pm, at the Annapolis Mall, in the parking area closest to Jennifer Road and West Street, just off US Route 50. 

In addition to showcasing EVs of all types, we are planning informational seminars and will feature information from environmental organizations such as the Anne Arundel Group of the  Maryland Chapter of the Sierra Club, EV-related organizations such as the Electric Vehicle Association, and EV-related services and products. Watch this space as we finalize additional details! 

The show is designed to showcase the value of electric vehicles to the pocketbook, human health, and the environment. This is a free event.

The show will feature exhibits, mini-talks and Q&A sessions, and displays of many types of EVs by people who are currently driving electric. These drivers are excited to share their driving experiences with members of the public one-on-one.

The City of Annapolis’ participation will include one of its new electric transit buses. The public will be offered the opportunity to ride in this clean, quiet mode of transportation. City officials will also display its three-wheeler electric bicycles, its electric GEM carts and other educational material.

Environmental organizations have been invited to participate due EVs’ positive effect on the environment – as driving electric is one of the best things people can do to mitigate the effects of climate change. Fossil fueled vehicle exhaust accounts for about 28% of total US greenhouse gas emissions. The transportation sector is the largest contributor of US greenhouse gas emissions with light-duty vehicles (like cars and light trucks) contributing 57% of those emissions.

Among the topics to be covered in the mini-talks and Q&A sessions are:

·      EV Charging – what where and how

·      Financial incentives – for EVs and chargers

·      Cost of Ownership – fossil fueled vehicles vs. EVs

·      Climate Change – how driving electric help mitigate its effects

·      Road Trips – totally doable

Founded in 1980, EVADC is an organization of electric vehicle owners, educators and enthusiasts dedicated to promoting the use of EVs as an environmental and energy benefit to society. It holds regular monthly meetings, public displays, car shows and tech sessions to exchange information and advocate for driving electric.
