Green Drive Expo is coming to California; Free admission through PriusChat

Green Drive Expo is making it's way to the West Coast this fall as it hits the San Francisco Bay Area for a one-day event on October 9th. The event that has made a name for itself out of Madision, Wisconsin is taking over the Craneway Pavillion, a beautiful factility that was once the site for production of Ford Model Ts and war-time tanks.

The best news is that the event would normally cost $10 per adult ticket, but as a PriusChat member you can receive free admission. To print off a coupon for FREE admission go to www.GreenDriveExpo.com and use the coupon code PRIUSCHAT.

This is going to be a great event and I would suggest it to any PriusChatter who lives in the area. I would be flying out for the event if we weren't expecting our little "Mini Cooper" arrival around the same time.

Check out the press release below.

Green Drive Expo is a new consumer expo happening in the San Francisco Bay Area on Oct. 9. It's the first green car show of its kind in the Bay Area.  

 

It's taking place in the Marina District of Richmond, right on the waterfront, at the Craneway Pavilion -- the location of a former Ford auto factory where the company built Model Ts and Model As.  (1414 Harbour Drive, Richmond, CA) 10am - 5pm

 

At the expo will be exhibits, test drives, speakers and more! You will be able to drive the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid as well as the Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid and other green cars.  There will be even more vehicles on display, as well as an owner's showcase.  

 

Public programs include a session on the real-life experiences of EV drivers--including a Tesla owner who will be driving up from Southern California in his Roadster for the event.  

 

Additional session topics include green car conversions, OEM panel, consumer incentives, public transportation and bicycle commuting.  

 

The keynote panel will have Lisa Margonelli, author of "Oil on the Brain," in dialogue with Chelsea Sexton, a key figure in "Who Killed the Electric Car".  Green Drive Expo - Bay Area will also be premiering the trailer for the sequel, "Revenge of the Electric Car."

 

There will be lots to do throughout the day. For more information visit the Green Drive Expo web site at www.GreenDriveExpo.com
