Drive the plug in Prius at Green Drive Expo (Madison, WI) July 17 &18

Green Drive Expo rolls into Madison, Wisconsin July 17 & 18 for it's fifth year of fun and we look forward to seeing you there!

We've been dispelling myths and sharing information about green vehicles for five years now, and it's people like you that make Green Drive Expo great.

There are always plenty of PriusChat folks there. Some have already registered and now it's time for you to register, too. The weekend is like a big family reunion and I can't wait to enjoy hanging out with everyone.

So what is special about this year's event?

Chelsea Sexton from Who Killed the Electric car will be the featured speaker this year and she'll share her views on where green vehicles are headed.

There will be special vehicles to drive at this year's event like the
- Toyota PHEV
- Enginer PHEV

You'll see cars like the EV1, X-prize participant vehicles, Teslas, find out about how to use your ScanGauge, and repair hybrid batteries.

There will be plenty for the public to see and do, but for those of you who sign up as members this year we'll have plenty more!

Fun things like the MPG Challenge on Friday, Owners Showcase on Saturday, cruise-in night on Thursday, reserved time to drive the Prius PHEV, awards, door prizes, private technical and user sessions.

With your $75 registration you get:
- Green Drive Expo T-Shirt
- Green Drive Expo Goodie Bag
- Reserved space to show your green vehicle in the Green Drive Expo "Owners Showcase"
- Eligibility to win awards in the Green Drive Expo "Owners Showcase"

- Green Drive Expo Member-only "How-To" sessions on Sunday morning
- Invitations to the Green Drive Expo members-only gatherings during the weekend
- And, of course, you'll also receive the satisfaction of knowing you're helping make the Green Drive Expo event possible!

I could go on and on, but I'll stop there for now. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll respond in the thread.

Come join us in celebrating five years of hybrid car camaraderie!

There are a very limited number of Volts out there and there was not one available for the Madison Green Drive Expo. GM is hoping that there will be some more available in time for the October Green Drive Expo in California.

The fact that Toyota has made the commitment to have their PHEVs available for test drives is an opportunity I hope many of you take advantage of. I will be very interested to here people's feedback about their PHEV experience.

 

Tony,
You are going to have some interesting competition for the other versions of plug-in's that will be in the MPG Challenge. There are several versions from different aftermarket companies.
