Plans are in the works,

Plug-In NCW is hosting a view, visit and drive EVent at the Pyhbus Market on Wednesday, September 18th. This a an opportunity to see electric vehicles and talk with the owners to see what it is really like to drive electric. There is no charge to attend the EVs will be parked outside the main market building and the owners will have bright yellow vests on so you can identify who can answer your questions.

The 59er Diner was one of the first sites to host a Plug-In NCW haL2 (high amperage Level 2) charger back in early 2014.  When the diner burned several years ago, the charger was kept in service.
The diner is now back in operation, better than ever!  Come with your EV to show our appreciation for the 59er Diner’s continued support of EV travel!

Every EV will get one free 59er Diner awesome milkshake, courtesy of Plug-In NCW!  Other activities and fun are also being planned.

In addition to the Plug-In NCW haL2 charger, several Juice Box L2 chargers will be available.  And, there’s also a Tesla Supercharger and Aerovironment L3 in Leavenworth, 15 miles east of Coles Corner.

Plug-In North Central Washington will be displaying EVs and other battery powered gear. More to come.

Plug-In North Central Washington will be providing technology instructors from around Washington State with information on EVs and other electrification projects in our area. Conference participants will also have the opportunity to see a variety of locally owned EVs and talk with the owners about the EV experience.

Learn why driving an electric vehicle (EV) might be the single most significant action you, as an individual, can make to reduce global climate change emissions.

• Learn why it’s more economical to drive an EV than a fossil fuel vehicle.

• Learn about EV charging and how to find public EV charging stations.

• Learn what to consider when buying or leasing an EV.

Several models of EVs, and their owners, will be available to see after the class.

This class is presented by members of the Plug-In NCW committee. Plug-In NCW is a non-profit, all volunteer committee under the umbrella of the North Central Washington Economic Development District. We promote the electrification of all forms of transportation and coordinate installation of EV charging stations at host sites throughout North Central WA. Educating people about EVs is an important goal. This presentation will also be part of the national Drive Electric Week events coordinated by Plug In America. www.pluginncw.com

Presentation on Autonomous EV's and the Electric Grid

Time: Wed, November 1st 5:00 PM Tesla ride alongs, 6:30 pm guest speaker

Guest Speaker: Dr. Kintner-Meyer, Pacific Northwest National Labs, will discuss the impact of autonomous EVs on the electrical grid.

Location: Confluence Technology Center (CTC), 285 Technology Center Way, Wenatchee, WA  98801

We will have Tesla Vehicles on display and give test rides to demonstrate autopilot. Rides and presentation are free.

Because "Pedal Assist" or e-Bikes are putting many people back on a bicycle we thought it would be fun to get together and share experiences. The "e-Bike Burrito Ride" is an informal meet up, any brand of e-Bike is welcome, and to be honest any bicycle is welcome. If you just want to see and maybe try an e-Bike there will be some e-Bikes available for that too.

We plan to meet up near the EV charger at the Pybus Market for some "meeting and greeting", then we can ride some if we get around to it. If not, we will just talk then eat lunch at the South Restraunt which is in the Pybus Market. Even though the event has the word Burrito in it, you can order anything you like.
