City of SLO kicks off National Drive Electric Week

Local community members will get to enjoy several events for National Drive Electric Week in San Luis Obispo starting Thursday through October 6.

SLO Climate Coalition will be hosting an Electric Vehicle Showcase at the Downtown Farmers Market, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Electric vehicles, including a SLO Transit EV Bus, will be on display.

On Saturday, there will be an Electric Vehicle Ride & Drive in the Madonna Inn parking lot, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Local event organizers believe the week of events will allow attendees to learn more about electric vehicles as the city begins its conversion to electric-powered public transportation. The city government has also invested in public charging stations throughout town.
