The San Juan Islands Electric Vehicle Association (SJIEVA) is proud to announce it’s 2nd annual Electric Vehicle show taking place in Friday Harbor at the County Offices parking lot (next to the Community Theater) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday September 15, 2018. Following the success of last year’s Electric Vehicle Show, The SJIEVA has partnered with Plug-in America and the Sierra club to celebrate National Drive Electric Week.

Drive Electric Week is nationwide celebration to heighten awareness of today’s widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more. Help us celebrate San Juan County joining the ranks of cities all over the United States and Canada. Attendees will be able to speak with and ask questions of Electric Vehicle owners and Dealers from around the State, drive and ride in electric vehicles, check out informational booths, take home free giveaways, join the fastest growing Electric Vehicle Association in the United States and learn all about energy conservation in the San Juan Islands.

If you are interested in attending this completely free event, or if you already own an EV and would just like to showcase your ride, you can register at www.driveelectricweek.org, by E-mailing Ryan@SJICD.org, by phone at 360-378-6621 or at the National Drive Electric Booth during the event itself.

Come learn how you can save money, tips and tricks from the pros, where you can charge in the county, how help keep San Juan county’s air clean and help lower your power bill all with going Electric. We hope to see you all there.
