September 18, 2020- Next week Sustainable Resilient Longmont (SRL) will celebrate National Drive Electric Week, as part of a nationwide event. Electric vehicle drivers and enthusiasts will participate in a vehicle motorcade down Main Street, and state and local leaders will speak at a webinar to highlight the clean-air benefits and cost-savings of electric cars. We are excited to announce the following events: 

The EV Solution: 
How Electric Vehicles combat climate change while promoting affordability and equity

6:00-8:00 p.m.

Via Zoom Webinar. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zFmSurz3TiCfSSTWM5aW1w

    • Francie Jaffe, City of Longmont
  • Longmont EV Owners Panel: Learn about affordability, environmental benefits, performance, and more from actual owners
  • Virtual EV Tour and Test Drive (Tesla Model 3, Fiat 500e, Harley Livewire)
Join us for an educational webinar with the latest updates on how Colorado is leading the way on electric vehicles at the state and local level. Following presentations by state and local leaders, we will host a panel discussion with local EV owners about the affordability, benefits, and incentives for EVs in Colorado. In addition, this event will feature a virtual tour and test drive of two EVs and an electric motorcycle! 

EV Motorcade
Saturday, September 26th
5:00-6:00 p.m.


Begins at: Roosevelt Park SE Parking Lot at 5:00 p.m. 
Route: From Roosevelt Park the motorcade will head South on Main St, then U-turn at 3rd Ave, back North on Main St. 
To participate in the motorcade and for more information: http://www.srlongmont.org/events.html

In addition to these events, Sustainable Resilient Longmont is advocating for the Longmont City Council to pass a GoEV Cities Resolution. Carbon pollution from transportation makes up more than one third of total emissions and is the single largest contribution to pollution in Colorado. This resolution would declare Longmont a GoEV City and pledge to develop a Transportation Electrification Plan with implementation strategies.
