Did you participate in Drive Electric Earth Day this year?
According to Electrek
, the Electric Vehicle Association, Plug-in America, and the Sierra Club worked together to sponsor this year's events. It was a true Earth Day event, with events scheduled across the Earth on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Oahu, New Zealand, and Canada.
