Event Report
Our Electric Vehicle Showcase event at Earth Day Omaha (EDO)
at Elmwood Park on Saturday, April 25th was met with nice weather. We had 10
plug-in electric vehicles plus one hybrid vehicle. All 11 vehicles were
displayed by private owners. None of the local EV dealers were available to
participate this year. It was fortunate we had some older EVs on display
with their owners because many visitors asked about the affordability and
wisdom of buying a used EV.
Overall attendance at Earth Day Omaha was less than last year.
We had approximately 75 people visit our display site and information booth.
Our booth next to the EV display provided an excellent
selection of handouts providing EV information.
One of our EV Team members, Bill Moore, Editor of EV World,
was interviewed at our display site by WOWT Channel 6, and Bill and our display
was featured on the evening news.
Here is a list of the Electric Vehicles at our
Earth Day Omaha display:
2022 Chevrolet Bolt
2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup
2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E
2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E (2 vehicles)
2024 Kia Niro Electric
2016 Nissan LEAF
2018 Nissan LEAF
2024 Tesla Cybertruck
2025 Tesla Model Y
2025 Volkswagen ID.BUZZ
This year the battery-electric Omaha Metro bus and
Heartland B-Cycle electric bikes were displayed on the east side of the park
freeing up space for our display parking lot.
Thanks to our EV Team volunteers who helped organize and
supervise making it a very successful and educational event: Brenda Moskovitz, Anne
Devries, Albert Lierz, Bill Moore, Louis Lester, Clyde Anderson and Don Preister.
