I hope Orange County people support the OC event.. I think it's more important for us to represent our local area than it is to go up to SM just to be a part of the "largest EV parade". We keep complaining about how sparse the EVSE's are in OC. Otherwise people will think it's just a bunch of Santa Monica people showing off their cool toys.
Hear, hear.
There are 17 cities participating! (http://www.pluginamerica.org/pluginday" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
As xtremeflyer said, we want to show how widespread EVs are. Santa Monica is already guaranteed press. We need to make sure OC gets exposure too.
Last I heard, Linda Nicholes scored two mini-sponsorships, from nearby Stadium Nissan, and Surf City Nissan in HB.
All the city organizers are still beating the bushes for more sponsors.
Nissan is lending the Santa Monica organizers their Aerovironment QC Charger on a flatbed. I have some photos of this rig from Alt-Car I'll post later. It would be great to have one of these at the OC event, but I don't know how many of these beasts Nissan has.
In any case, if you know of a business or group that would like to get involved, please let Linda know @
