National Drive Electric Week (2024)

Sonoma Clean Power and NBEAA teamed up to hold the Sonoma Clean Power Electric Vehicle Showcase and Event for National Drive Electric Week in 2024.

We had a number of presentations at Sonoma Clean Power’s Advanced Energy Center.

We had 10 EVs as part of the showcase in the Sonoma Clean Power parking lot, plus a few drop by. The parking lot was a model on how to support your employees driving EVs. Each parking spot had access to charging.

Over 50 folks came to learn about EVs despite the high temperatures in Santa Rosa.
