Fun Run in the Sun
Follow Charlie Garlow as he travels across the US in his solar-electric powered Extreme Bug-E. Charlie will be traveling with his puppy Rex, and will stop along the way to show the virtues of solar power and driving electric. In tow, will be a 1 kw solar trailer to extend the vehicle's range. Charlie will be keeping track of his travels in Charlie's Blog which you can access from his Fun Run in the Sun website. The Journey will kick off in late August from the Capital Mall in Washington DC and finish up in California.

Tesla Roadsters visit Export, PA
The Renew America RoadtripTM was "America's first green charity drive coast-to-coast in an all-electric sportscar." They drove from New York to California, starting on July 15th and ending July 31st.
PA Electrics and the Three Rivers EVA sponsored the "Driving America Green - Charity Festival and Car Cruise" on Friday, July 17, 2009, to coincide with the visit of the Tesla Roadsters. The event was held at the Export Firemen's Pavilion and featured a live Christian Rock Band called "Tuck". We raised money at the event for the Export Flood Fund.
2008
Help PIA Help Liza
Plug In America (PIA) was financially sponsoring Liza Stoner and her Ride for Renewal from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Washington, DC. The trip took from June 16th to July 18th, in 2008. According to Liza, she was riding her bike "to raise awareness about the need for electric vehicles and to deliver a petition asking for tax credits and incentives for companies who produce or purchase electric cars."
Spirit of DC
The Spirit of DC is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle that has traveled All Around America!
The Spirit of DC invites you to join them in their effort to teach the public about plug-in vehicles and the power of electricity in automobile transportation. Their first objective was to visit each state and demonstrate in a "show & tell" fashion the practicality of PHEVs. They expect the Spirit of DC to reach over 10,201 miles in its first 101 days while attempting to average 101 miles per gallon by using plug-in electricity as much as possible.
