Earth Day on the Bay Countdown part 4!

We will be counting down to Earth Day with special blog post’s all week, so check back here every day for the spotlighted Earth Day activity.

PLUG IN AMERICA!

Plug In America

As part of Earth Day on the Bay on April 19, you can see environment-friendly electric cars up-close.  You might have seen some on the road but did you know that there are more than 180,000 of them in the US?  These aren’t golf carts or somebody’s hobby project.  They are complete, highway-capable cars from major manufacturers that people use daily like any other car.  Come at your leisure to see and learn about this kind of car.  An expert from non-profit PlugInAmerica.org will be on-hand to explain and answer questions about environmental benefits, charging at home, charging away from home, range, clean energy, incentives, performance, and more.
