East (SF) Bay Chapter
|
|
April, fourth Saturday
Staging time: 10:00. Main focus this year is to display all types of EV:
Electric Scooters
Electric Bicycles
Electric Mopeds
Electric Motorcycles
Electric Cars
Electric Trucks
Other electrics.
We have the Alternative Energy class to interact with, focused on solar and wind power generation.
Rally Location: Diablo Valley College, Pleasant Hill (next to Concord)
We will meet in the parking lot, as noted by site signage and the big hot-air-shaped helium
balloon. This is a no-fee rally, open to any and all EVs. We have a standard entry/release form to be filled out at Rally start. Great time to tell and show the public what EVs are all about - clean, quite, the best way to recycle a car.
This is the time of Earthday and energy consciousness, so excellent time to expose college students and the general public to the EV mission.

The bus stop at DVC is on the opposite side of campus from our rally site. Look on a campus map for the ET building, or just walk straight through campus until you see the building with the wind turbine on it.
Diablo Valley College Website: http://www.dvc.edu
The public transit information on the DVC website is incorrect - it has not been updates with the latest changes in the County Connection schedules and routes. The Pleasant Hill campus area map and driving directions are correct. We'll be in parking lot 2.
