Electric Auto Association Events

The following are some events that are being promoted by the Electric Auto Association and other chapters of the Electric Auto Association:

Help PIA Help Liza

Plug In America (PIA) is financially sponsoring Liza Stoner and her Ride for Renewal from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Washintgon, DC. According to Liza, she is 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."

Can you help us help Liza plug her message to Congress and to the world? One way you can help is by making a contribution to PIA.

Spirit of DC

The Spirit of DC is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle that will travel 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 is 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.

Northeast Sustainable Energy Association

Tour de Sol

The Tour de Sol is a high tech event that celebrates progress made toward more environmentally friendly vehicles that use less fuel and emit less climate changing emissions. It is usually held annually in May in Saratoga and Albany, NY. It is hosted by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA). However, the event is currently on hold until 2008 while they examine options for NESEA’s transportation focus and repositioning of the event.

In 2007, the NESEA pledged support to the 21st Century Automotive Challenge (a PDF file). The event was hosted by the Eastern Electric Vehicle Club (EEVC), a chapter of the Electric Auto Association (EAA). This new alternative transportation event called the 21st Century Automotive Challenge, took place on June 9-10, 2007, in Burlington County, New Jersey.
