Move2Electric 6 Show ‘n Shine

It’s National Drive Electric Week with hundreds of events across North America promoting electric vehicles.

We will again hold our signature “Move2Electric” Show ‘n Shine on Sunday, September 24 at the Comox Marina. This will be our 6th annual big public event, and it will run from 10:00 until 3:00.

Every volunteer, even if just for an hour, will receive a CVEVA T-shirt and food all day in our "volunteer lounge": fruit and vegetable platters, sandwiches, and hot and cold drinks of all kinds. And you will receive our endless appreciation as a champion of a greener future for the earth. Please email us at cvevabc@gmail.com if you'd like to help, including also displaying your EV (including cars, bikes, boats, airplanes, etc).

For everyone, including volunteers, come and sign up on site to drive all-electric SUVs, cross-overs, pickup trucks, and sedans from Ford, GM, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, VW, and perhaps new entrants to the electric vehicle (EV) market. Take any of a dozen electric bicycles up the steep hill toward Comox Avenue, and feel the effortless pedalling.

Under cover at the Sail Pavilion, listen in to speakers explaining how reliable and low maintenance EVs are, how to charge, how EV batteries are made and recycled, how much it costs to “fill up” an EV ($7-$10!), how solar energy can reduce this cost to zero, how easy and comfortable both long-distance rides and transcontinental road trips are, and how electric transportation can help save our planet.

There will be several food carts on location, including Rove Kitchen, Surfside Fish'n Chips, Comexi Cantina, and/or Big Scoop Ice Cream. Also enjoy the water park immediately adjacent with your entire family if it's still hot and sunny. Make a day of it with friends and family!
