Drive electric earth month

For our Drive Electric Earth Month event this year, it may have been a bit cool and windy, but we had a great time regardless! Stinkfest, hosted by The Wild Ramp in Huntington, attracted around 500 visitors during the five hour event. The West Virginia Electric Auto Association (WVEAA) had a Lectric XP Step-Thru electric bicycle, a Tesla Cybertruck, a Model 3, and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 for attendees to check out. Many attendees saw the EV display and some visited for 20-30 minutes. One Audi Q6 E-tron EV owner stopped by to chat with the group for awhile. Buddy Langdon was busy showing his Tesla to many people and Rick Walker answered many good questions, dispelling EV myths.

WVEAA would like to specially thank The Wild Ramp for hosting the event and providing space for our EV display, Diane Palmieri for organizing the event, and Rick Walker for assisting. We also very much appreciate members Buddy Langdon and Arno Schuechen for volunteering their time and vehicles as well as Malcolm Saunders for attending from the Appalachian Power Energy Efficiency program and providing Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) reimbursement information.
