Is there an electric vehicle in your future? Probably!
Come learn about what it's like to drive electric as AAACCC member Annapolis Green, partnering with the Electric Vehicle Association of Greater DC and the Maryland Chapter of the Sierra Club, hosts the Annapolis Showcase of electric vehicles as part of National Drive Electric Week at Susan Campbell Park on City Dock, from
noon to 4 p.m. on
Saturday, September 10.
Owners and dealers of electric vehicles will encourage the public to "Ask me why I drive electric!" with the Historic Annapolis Harbor as a backdrop. At this fun and informative event, the public can get information about what it's like to drive electric including range, how and where to charge, cost, performance, benefits to the environment, and government incentives.
Most of the vehicles will be brought to the event by individual owners, who can talk about their personal experiences with plug-in transportation. Some will be brought by dealers who can offer information about lease and purchase.
Electric vehicles are good for your wallet and good for the environment. They offer instant torque and quick acceleration makes driving fun. Electric motors are whisper quiet with no vibration. There's almost no maintenance: The simple drivetrain has few moving parts to repair or replace. By plugging in, drivers can go 100 miles on $4 of electricity - that's 4 cents per mile! Electric vehicles use domestically produced electricity instead of foreign oil. And more and more electricity is being produced from clean, renewable fuel sources.
Among the vehicles participating are the BMW i3 REx, BMW i8, Cadillac ELR, Chevrolet Volt, Chevy Spark EV, Tesla Model S, BMWi8, Nissan LEAF, Kia Soul, Think City, Mercedes Benz B-Class Electric Drive, Electric Drive Coupe Smart Car, and a converted Porsche 914 and a converted Toyota Prius.
There will be information about charging infrastructure, energy efficiency, and electric boat dealers have been invited to participate.
Annapolis is one of more than 100 cities across the country participating in National Drive Electric
Week.
It will be a fun, free, afternoon where the future meets the past at Historic Annapolis Harbor.

The Anne Arundel County Volunteer Center Commemorates
the 15th Anniversary of Sept. 11 Attacks through Service
Local Volunteers are Encouraged to Join the National Day of
Service and Remembrance Initiative on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016
The Anne Arundel County Volunteer Center will commemorate the 15th Anniversary of the
Sept. 11 attacks through service and volunteerism, marking the tragic events by rekindling the spirit of hope and community that followed the devastating day. As we approach the 15thanniversary of the
Sept. 11 attacks, we have the opportunity to create a positive legacy through the powerful force of service.
On Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, the Volunteer Center and its partners, including Anne Arundel Recreation & Parks, Friends of Anne Arundel Trails, Maryland Dept. of Veterans Affairs, Ocean Conservancy, the USNA Midshipmen Action Group and community volunteers, will remember Sept. 11 with environmental projects starting at the Maryland W.W. II Memorial overlooking the Severn River and continuing to Jonas Green Park.
Join County Executive Steven R. Schuh at 8:30 am on Sept. 10th for a brief ceremony at the Maryland World War II Memorial. Keynote Speaker Michael Hopmeier, President of Unconventional Concepts, Inc. will show how to empower the community to be prepared and resilient. Dr. Mark Chapin will receive special recognition for his commitment to our community and his work with wounded warriors and their families.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 8:30 am and end by 9 am so that the volunteers can maximize their time with environmental service projects at the Memorial and at Jonas Green Park.
This is a "rain or shine event" and will only be delayed or cancelled if there are local thunder storms.
This 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance is supported by a grant from the Points of Light, helping millions of volunteers to change the world.www.pointsoflight.org
