EV Fest Update!

As of August 2020, Current COVID-19 Realities have also been a Strain on Event Development of In Person Larger Events, and the Funding of Such Events has been challenging in the past, without such additional strains, so creativity levels must be elevated for any similar events, and it seems the "FEEL" of an event, like these, with everyone required to wear masks, or shields, defeats a lot of the joy of such events.

Please Review this blog for any updates, in the coming months, as we attempt to redesign these kinds of events. (Obviously - Limits on Crowd Sizes need to be resolved, most obviously, by the result of Daily Cases of COVID-19 Dropping to a Point of near Zero, for an extended period of time, before such realities are practical.)

Based on the Workplace Requirements currently in Place, of Mandatory Mask Wearing On Property, I can Only Expect that until such Requirements are Lifted, any thoughts or revisiting Events like these, are under an extra burden of restriction, unsuitable for Serious Event Planning.

We May Consider Different Aspects for EV Fest, as well, to allow for Various Smaller Gatherings, at some point, going forward. Some Events May, be Specifically Restricted, or not in indoor Venues or Locations, as well, to suit any remaining limits on Events.

Obviously - Ontario is appearing to do better than some areas, with this challenge, but not as good as others! We all need to do better, to starve this pandemic of targets!

EV Fest 2nd Public EV Charging Station Show - You are invited!

You are invited to the following event:

EV FEST 2ND PUBLIC EV CHARGING STATION SHOW

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations around Ontario, and Toronto are Growing in Numbers, and not everyone is aware of many of the new locations! 

This Event is the 3rd (Third) of what we hope to be many, many, such small events, and the Second for the General Public, where we will be creating a smaller event, showcasing the sites where there are more than one Electric Vehicle Charging Station available for Public Access.


This one is at (Click Link >) Toronto Region Conservation Authority - Head Office - a New Location only recently listed on  PlugShare! Overflow EV Charging at IKEA, Next Door!

Sun, 22 January 2017; 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST

Toronto Region Conservation Authority

101 Exchange Ave

Vaughan‎, Ontario‎ L4K 5R6

 

We will be inviting Electric Vehicle Owners and Operators with EV's and PHEV's to come out and Join us for a Charge, and to Meet other EV Owners, plus inviting Past EV Fest Guests, and the Public, for Events, to Join us and See Just how Easy and Quick it is for Electric Vehicles to be Connected and Disconnected from a Public Charging Station, and how convenient it is to use a Charging Station (IF Electric Vehicle Owners are willing to share these points)!

 

There will be a small Token Fee for these events, usually at the pocket change level, and the events will be shorter in duration than the normal EV Fest Show Hours. Donations for supporting Future Events and EV Fest Growth will also be accepted when Registering.

It is OK to come early - but if you come late - the event might be already over!

Guest and EV/PHEV Numbers may be limited, as these events will be generally in parking lot spaces where there is vehicle traffic, and there won't be an unlimited Number of Charging Stations.

Be Advised - Watch for Vehicular Traffic - Some Won't Be EV's!

Not All such Events will be Scheduled with a lot of notice, or with specific permission to have priority access to such Chargers, as they are Public, but as for much of the time most such sites are underutilized, and we will try to invite less EV Owners than the number of Charging Stations on site, so there is room for the general public as well, we feel that for the most part, this would be a great introduction of the realities of EV Charging, showcasing the benefits, and opportunities, as well as any learning opportunities for the uninformed public to develop a respect for Electric Vehicle Charging Spaces, their uses, and diplomacy.

Anyone wishing to Volunteer an assist with organizing these events, please contact us.

Thanks for coming, and Supporting EV Fest!
