Michigan EV Show and Rally June 9 9AM to 4PM

Michigan’s 3rd Annual Electric Vehicle Learn, Touch, Drive, and Race Event

Livonia, Michigan – The Michigan Electric Auto Association, Schoolcraft College, and the Clean

Energy Coalition announce the 3rd Annual Electric Vehicle Show and Rally, to be held from 9AM

to 4 PM, June 11, 2011, at Schoolcraft College, 18600 Haggerty Road, in Livonia, Michigan.

Last year’s event drew over a thousand people and 35 EV’s, including a Chevy Volt, a Tesla

Roadster, a Ford PHEV, a Th!nk, two Wheegos, and a 1916 Detroit Electric, as well as a broad

variety of conversion EVs, scooters and bikes, and EV1-era OEM production electric vehicles. The

most popular segment of the show last year was the Sportscar Club of America-sponsored EV

Solo Autocross, where EV drivers raced around a closed course against the clock.

The event is free again this year, and show organizers expect a much bigger crowd, with 60 EVs of

all kinds, including Chevy Volts, a Tesla, a Nissan Leaf, a Ford PHEV, an Electralite Roadster, a

SmartcarED, and a Bright PHEV, - along with production scooters, a couple of Segways, unique

EV conversions, motorcycles, and competitive tractor-pull tractors, plus older production OEM

EVs, a Citicar or two, and of course, the classic 1916 Detroit Electric. 20 exhibitors will show off

their EV related equipment and services; plus, Schoolcraft College will show off their four new

Coulomb Charging Stations.

As a Ride and Drive event, the public should come prepared to take test rides and drives in many

different kinds of EVs around the large Schoolcraft campus.

At 11AM, Michigan State Senator Glenn Anderson will say a few words and then lead the “Parade

of EVs” around the campus and autocross course, in a made-in-Michigan Chevy Volt.

At 1PM there will be a panel of experts answering questions about EV technology and

infrastructure, EV ownership and driving experience, and EV economic and environmental impact.

At 2:30PM, 20 EVs will compete in the Solo Autocross, and at 4 PM, completing the day, there will

be a ceremony presenting awards for the Autocross and for EVs in several categories.

“Our EV show is the largest event of its kind in the Midwest. It’s an event where, all in one place,

the public can learn about all kinds of electric vehicles, talk to people who own and drive EVs every

day, take test rides and drives in a broad range of EVs, and watch EV’s compete in an exciting

Solo Autocross,” says Larry Tuttle, president of the Michigan Electric Auto Association.
