Electric Vehicle Rally Starts in Washington

Road Warriors on a mission to show the viability of EVs
From the Canadian to Mexican border EVs are driving change
A world in economic turmoil. Our dependence on oil a threat to our national and economic security. Arab springs. Summer gas prices. Global warming. Crumbling infrastructure. Unemployment.
Meet one of America’s answers to getting off foreign oil, putting the country back to work and making the earth a tad bit greener.
With the west coast of the United States as a backdrop, 12 drivers set out on a course, unveiling the new American driving experience.
The BC2BC Rally showcases electric vehicles and infrastructure on a route that highlights our country’s early investment in moving toward electric vehicle transportation. In the past year, new generations of electric vehicles have hit the showrooms and significant charging infrastructure is being installed nationwide. And today, this nation is rebuilding and renewing itself all the while the places that provide us our oil are at political tipping points. In the word’s of event creator, Tony Williams, “It’s a fantastic time to have some fun.”
