Go! Play & Drive Electric Transportation Fair
Saturday, September 12th from 8:00am-2:30pm in the Veteran’s Memorial parking lot and entrance to Community Park.
Come join Cool Davis as we celebrate National Drive Electric Week.
Let’s kick emissions to the curb! It’s the first day of the AYSO season and National Drive Electric Week! How will you be getting to games this fall?
Join us for some fun between games and learn how you can get to Community Park, Veteran’s Memorial Center, and DHS while keeping your carbon footprint small. We’ll have plenty of vehicles to test drive!
Alongside our transportation partners we want to help you get to your favorite community destinations while cutting back on emissions. Come down and explore your transportation options, ride a Whymcycle, test drive an electric vehicle, enter to win prizes, and have tons of fun!
Reaching our goals:
Cool Davis is assisting households to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as the community moves towards its carbon neutrality goal. Electric vehicle adoption is one of several actions that households can take to reduce their transportation related GHG. With the City, Cool Davis has set a campaign goal of 2500 EV’s in our community by 2020.
What is a plug-in vehicle?
Plug-in vehicles can either be fully electric or they can be a plug-in hybrid which can utilize traditional fuels as well as electricity. Unlike conventional hybrids, you can charge them by plugging in, enabling you to recharge your battery using electricity instead of through the use of the engine and braking alone.
Why consider an electric vehicle?
- They’re fun to drive
- They have few to no tailpipe emissions
- They’re cheap to fuel
Activities:
Electric Vehicle Test Drives
Ride in an Electric Vehicle
Talk to Owners About Their Experiences
Ride a Whymcycle
Win great prizes!
If you would like to help out at this event or have an electric vehicle you would like to display please contact skelley@cooldavis.org.

Cool Davis is hoping all our friends living in Rancho Yolo remain well! This is a reminder of our fragile grid and the need to look after each other during heat emergencies. Hurray that the City of Davis City now has Social Services staff to join City of Davis Fire Department to assist when a vulnerable neighborhood's power goes down.
For other down neighborhoods - remember to check on your neighbors! If your power is still on consider ways to reduce your energy use pre-cool , cover windows, delay appliance use, double up with neighbors in a cool location - cooling center (see City post for cooling center info), movie theater etc to reduce loads. After the emergency, move forward on your plans for how you will reduce and manage energy use in the future. We have to stand together to adapt to new climate challenges. Cool Davis and our many partners are here to help.
