Sunday, September 29 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Sunday, September 29 is the third annual National Plug In Day! Events are taking place in cities nationwide to celebrate and increase awareness of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), and Carmel is joining the fun. Join Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard and other dignitaries at the Clay Terrace Mall on September 29 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. for an electric vehicle (EV) tailgate in the parking lot behind Whole Foods Market. The event will take place by Clay Terrace’s impressive plug-in ecosystem – a first-of-its-kind charging station that combines Level 2 charging stations, a quick charge station, solar power and battery storage.
Plug-in vehicle owners are encouraged to bring their vehicles and park at the tailgate, and everyone is welcome to learn about all the electric vehicles available on the market and how the Clay Terrace charging station uses solar power to help recharge electric vehicles. Bring your tailgate gear, enjoy some sweet treats from Paradise Bakery and some food off the grill, and see several of the latest models of electric vehicles on display courtesy of Tom Wood Automotive Group.
Mayor Brainard will be joined by representatives from the Sierra Club, Duke Energy, Tom Wood Automotive Group, Energy Systems Network, the Carmel Green Initiative, and Hoosier EVA to talk about the importance of plug-in vehicle and solar technology.
