Event Report
The Spacecoast Electric
Vehicle Association held its Earth Day event at the American Muscle Car Museum
in Melbourne, Florida on April 22nd. There were 75 electric vehicles on display
from individuals and 10 automobiles from various dealers. One of the highlights
of the show was Malcolm Bricklin bringing his incredible 3EV prototype car. (https://www.vvcars.com/) People were amazed
by its design and affordable price. Another highlight was the appearance of
Lucid Motors. They brought two amazing Lucid automobiles from their “Dream
Ahead Tour.” (https://ir.lucidmotors.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lucid-announces-2023-dream-ahead-tour-opportunity-drive-award)
The American Muscle Car
Museum (https://www.americanmusclecarmuseum.com/)
was the perfect place to hold the venue. It is the largest solar-powered
automobile museum in the world. The museum also has the ability to set-up and
run a small test track where individuals were given the chance to experience
rides in several electric automobiles. This proved to be the most beneficial
experience for people interested in learning more about the benefits of
electric vehicles. There were over 112 test track rides given. The Lucid Air Grand
Touring was the favorite among the participants.
The event this year was
over twice as large as the previous year. The addition of new manufactures and
increased production of electric cars available contributed to this rise in
participation and interest. We feel next years event will be even greater and
are excited to see what new vehicles are on the horizon. It has already been
booked for April 20, 2024. All of this would not have been possible if it weren’t
for the help and contribution from the Electric Vehicle Association. Thanks.
