Hybrid & electric car show and drive - 9/12 - 10 to 5 - Smith Haven Mall - EDUCATIONAL only

CAR SHOW & DRIVE - dealers and owners will answer your questions - NO car SALES

Don’t miss this chance to see and test drive a wide variety of electric and electric-hybrid cars from multiple manufacturers and private car owners all in one place!
Find out from the people who own them why they love them. All the vehicles have batteries that can be charged by plugging the car into an electric outlet. Some (hybrids) have auxiliary gas engines for extended distance travel.

Advantages of electric cars:
• No tailpipe pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions
• More economical to operate—the equivalent of $1 per gallon gasoline
• More reliable because they have fewer moving parts

At this event, you’ll have a chance to talk to people who already own an electric vehicle and take a ride in (or drive) one to experience the difference for yourself.

Event organized by the Sierra Club L.I. group, the Greater NY Electric Auto Association, and Plug-In America.
