'UNDERGROUND' EVENT TO TRANSPORTATION DEVICES THAT DON'T USE GASOLINE
I'm going to try to make it, but chances are slim to none that my LEAF will be here by then. Hopefully will get to ogle many other EVs!Hybrid vehicle owners need not apply for participation in the first-ever "underground" alternative transport show hosted by the Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association.
For this May 26 event, organizers say they just want to showcase vehicles that go gasoline-free, not ones that use both gas and electricity.
"It's not just about the electric cars, we want the bikes and the alternative vehicles too," association program assistant Carris Rhodes said Thursday as she described plans for the rapidly expanding special event.
Set for 5:30 to 7 p.m. May 26, the free celebration of alternative transportation will include everything from BMW officials talking about their new high-end electric vehicle to a transportation documentary shown on a solar powered movie screen.
