Future Plans

Next Steps:

Increase geographic footprint – Create a list of contacts that can help organize events in different geographical areas.

Leverage past events to grow – Contact teachers and principals from participating schools and suggest that they share their experience with adjacent schools.

Aspirational goals:

Student involvement in planning events – How can we replicate the success at Richard Montgomery High School which was student led?

Awareness and support:

Local EV Enthusiast community – Reach out to local EV organizations to ask for support to notify their members when EVs are needed for an event.

  • Tesla Owners Club of the Mid-Atlantic.  Contacted

Regional EV community – Reach out to share the idea

  • Richmond – Drive Electric RVA.  Contacted
  • EV Grand Prix schools. Contacted
