Event Report

NDEW - EV EXPO San Jacinto 2024

NDEW - EV EXPO San Jacinto 2024 was an amazing event.  Our event was held at Mt. San Jacinto College in the City of San Jacinto, California. This event was a first for the city of San Jacinto. We were fortunate to have an amazing group of students from Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School's Engineering & Design (CED) in Long Beach, California. Engineering & Design (CED)  is a four-year, rigorous, high-tech, specialized program designed for students who have an interest in the field of engineering and design. The students bought The Switch Lab, a hands-on, professional training lab, where they will get experience by learning, building, testing, and then driving the finished Switch EV as a complete project-based learning process.

Javier Enriquez, Sr Public Affairs Specialist, from the South Coast Air Quality Management District was also present to provide information about electric vehicles and information on air quality issues of Southern California. 

Me and my co-host Robert Betancourt Jr. are grateful to the volunteers who assisted with the set-up our event. We could not have done it with out them. 

We enjoyed being a participant of the national outreach campaign to expose our community to the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

We are also grateful to Plug In America for supporting our local event in collaboration with its national and regional organizers for their sponsorship of 2024 National Drive Electric Week.

Thinking of Going Electric? Find Out Everything You Need at Our Electric Vehicle Expo!

National Drive Electric Week, Sep 27-Oct 6, 2024, is a nationwide celebration to raise awareness of the many benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more. EV EXPO at Mt. San Jacinto College in San Jacinto, will host an event on Saturday, September 28th, 2024  where attendees will learn about electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle charging options for home and public chargers. Individual EV owners and EV owners from area car clubs will bring their vehicles to our gathering to display and talk about their vehicles. Attendees will understand electric vehicle batteries and the benefits of owning a zero-emission vehicle.

What are Electric Vehicles? 
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are vehicles powered entirely by electricity, or partially through plug-in hybrid technology. EVs are equipped with advanced battery systems that store energy from the electrical grid, powering the vehicle’s motor and emitting zero or significantly reduced carbon emissions. With technology advancing rapidly, EVs offer smoother rides, quieter motors, and cost-effective energy alternatives, making them the green choice for the future.

Why Should I Attend the EV Expo?

Here’s why you don’t want to miss this exciting event:

  • Learn from Experts: Hear from EV owners and area car clubs who will showcase their vehicles and share real-life experiences on driving electric.
  • Discover Charging Options: Understand the different charging options available for home and public use, and find out how simple and accessible charging your EV can be.
  • Zero-Emission Benefits: Learn the environmental and financial advantages of owning a zero-emission vehicle.
  • Explore EV Batteries: Delve into the future of electric vehicle batteries, including longevity, charging times, and efficiency.
  • Network with Enthusiasts: Connect with fellow EV enthusiasts and experts, and become part of the green movement shaping the future of transportation.

Questions About Electric Vehicles? We’ve Got You Covered!

If you’re new to the world of electric vehicles (EVs), you may have many questions. Our EV Expo will provide the answers you need. Here are some common questions that will be addressed at the event:

  • How far can an electric vehicle travel on a single charge?
  • What are the differences between plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles?
  • How long does it take to charge an EV at home vs. at a public charging station?

  • What’s the lifespan of an EV battery, and how much does it cost to replace?
  • How do electric vehicles perform in extreme weather conditions?
  • Can I save money by switching to an electric vehicle?
  • What incentives or rebates are available for purchasing an EV?
