Electric Cars and No Cars: Options Here and Now
Saturday, June 7, 2014
Come listen to several neighbors discuss how they propel themselves with electrons instead of gas. How much do these cars cost? How much can you save on fuel? What are they really like to drive? At the Town Hall will be a Tesla, a Chevy Volt, a Ford C Max and a Nissan Leaf. We will also hear from NRG, a major provider of electricity, which is fast building up a series of fueling stations where owners can “fill” their battery when not at home. We will also have a presentation from Car2Go, which has a large number of Smart Cars in NW Washington, where residents can gain access to a car when they need one, but without the cost of ownership. And we will have information on the rapidly expanding Bikeshare program. A brief panel discussion will be followed by an informal gathering at the cars themselves, to let the owners explain their experiences, and to talk more with NRG and Car2Go. Please RSVP to the Town Office at townoffice@townofchevychase.org or 301-654-7144. Light refreshments will be served.
