Seeking EV'ers for Saturday EVent

CleanStart EV Showcase

Saturday, September 7, 2 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Location: 318 12th Street, Sacramento
Description: CleanStart is hosting eight workshops in the area to gently introduce sustainability and clean tech to the community. It appears that many people in the area are new to the concept of clean tech. There aren't many EVs in the neighborhood either. SacEV EV owners can share our EV insights and can clear up misconceptions by providing our personal experience regarding fuel costs, maintenance costs, charging infrastructure, and charging at home.

We invite you to join other SacEV members by becoming a member of the national Electric Vehicle Association. As an EVA member, you will be part of a national grassroots community that advocates for EVs in the USA. The national EVA is critically important to SacEV since it handles our administrative chores (like tax filings, non-profit status, banking service, insurance, and legal help) and provides value in the form of webinars and two nationwide events, National Drive Electric Week and Drive Electric Earth Day.
