It starts Saturday - National Drive Electric Week! (But not here.)


Fellow Lubbock people, if you want to attend the nearest NDEW event, you need to leave home early on Saturday, September 19. It's a five-hour drive east to Gapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine, Texas - the Dallas area.

Yep, Lubbock is not the place to hang out if want to see, learn about, and possibly test drive electric vehicles. I posted a few weeks ago to gage interest in NDEW locally and one person sent up a +1 (Thanks, AK!), so I plan to celebrate NDEW in my usual way - by posting stuff on the internet and by cruising around on the electric Vespa and maybe work on ElectroPigeon 1. I might even swing by the local Nissan dealer to see if they have a Leaf in stock that I can test drive.

As for the posting part - let's get things started with a movie marathon. Here are trailers for three films I highly recommend if you are considering driving electric: (All three are avaialable on Netflix and various other outlets.)


Who Killed the Electric Car? (A great film about a big step back)

Revenge of the Electric Car! (A happy sequel!)

Charge (Trailer for electric motorcycle racing documentary - Go, Cedric Lynch!)
 
May you enjoy your time in the seat!
