Thinking about going electric? Curious what it’s really like to drive an EV or ride an e-bike? Come see for yourself at this year’s EVs@thePavilion + Transportation Fair, happening Sunday, September 28th from 11:00am to 2:30pm at Central Park Pavilion in Downtown Davis!

With a new school year underway and fall routines taking shape, it’s the perfect time to explore your transportation options—and maybe even reduce the number of cars in your household. Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, but small changes like biking, busing, or carpooling can make a big impact—on both the environment and your wallet. If you’re considering reducing your reliance on a single-occupancy vehicle, this is the place to come and explore practical, sustainable, and affordable alternatives.

It’s Not Just About Cars

The event will also feature resources on how we move toward a cleaner, healthier future. That means bikes, buses, scooters, and smart transportation choices, too. Come check out exhibits and resources from these partner organizations:  

This FREE community event is part of National Drive Electric Month and brings together local EV drivers, sustainable transportation advocates, and curious neighbors to share stories, answer questions, and showcase a wide range of electric vehicles and climate-friendly transit options. National Drive Electric Week is presented nationally by Plug In America, The Electric Vehicle Association, The Sierra Club, EVHybridNoire, and Drive Electric USA.

Whether you’re EV-curious or already committed to driving electric, there’s something here for everyone. Bring your friends, family, and questions!
