Working group plans fall EV demonstration events, focusing on private sites and liability questions
Summary
Members discussed staging EV demo events after September 30 at private properties, churches or central locations; staff will explore liability and permitting issues and report back.
Committee members discussed plans to host intermittent electric‑vehicle demonstration events so residents can see and drive EV models. Staff said the group prefers working with private property owners rather than municipal lots and is targeting a start after September 30. Staff reported they are awaiting contact lists from a volunteer and remain limited by staff time; they will check whether liability or permitting constraints can be addressed through local partners or local electric utility/agency waivers. If private lots are not available, staff said church parking lots or other centrally located private properties could be used. Members confirmed that demonstration drivers would need valid licenses and that working with vehicle dealers or volunteers who can provide short test drives is feasible. The committee did not take a formal vote; staff said they would follow up on liability and availability of venues and return with a proposed schedule in the fall.
