Every EVA-OH member who participated at the event are well-versed in electric vehicles. And as attendees either touched, drove or asked questions, they were answered by a diverse group of individuals who own the EVs that were displayed. This is essential because the participants felt no pressure that they were being made a sales pitch and they were simply talking to people who loved EVs.

The main sponsor of our event was EVA-OH. We were supported by the City of Dayton's Sustainability Office and numerous green organizations throughout the City of Dayton and Miami Valley region. Paid advertising of our event was placed with FaceBook. We emailed EVA-OH members, area contacts, and posted promotions on LinkedIn. Staff at 2nd Street Market placed our flyers on their entrance doors and made announcements through the day about our Test Drives. As well, the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) sent our handbill to all the social agencies and underserved groups with whom they have an association.

With the rising price of oil it is essential that groups similar to EVA-OH hold events where citizens can learn about the many benefits of driving EVs and how they can aide in eliminating the burden placed upon them(us) by fuel costs.
