There have been many achievements over the past year in support of electricity based transportation on Salt Spring Island. This especially true in support of electric cars with the installation of Level II charging stations at B&B's and commercial locations in Ganges. We have rapidly grown to almost 50 fully electric cars in a very short time, to by far the highest density of EV's in Canada. We have many more e-bikes (and vendors) and we have an industrial electric drone company. We have created new jobs in the community.

To recognize our achievements and the opening of the charging stations at Country Grocer and Island Savings, Transition Salt Spring and the Chamber of Commerce together with our sponsoring businesses, have gathered for a celebration. The focus is our expanded infrastructure and the many available and affordable forms of electric transportation.

Automotive vendors including Vancouver TESLA, Motorize Auto Direct, Graham Kia, Three Point Motors, Campus Nissan and the Victoria Leaf Club will be here to provide information and test drives will be available for most brands. A variety of electric bikes including Pedago, BionX and Juiced Riders will be on display and offer test rides and our local company InDro Robotics will offer demonstrations of their built on Salt Spring drones. There will be an education session at the Fritz, and a meet and greet social at Moby's. The High School Solar array will be open. Details may be found on posters around town.

If you want a sneak peek of the upcoming show, check out the Nissan Leaf provided by Motorize Auto Direct in the foyer of Island Savings or the Electric Bike provided by David Elderton in the Library.

Please join us to help celebrate our success and learn about the EV movement.
