About Us - About EV
Fest
EV Fest Electric Vehicle Show began through a collaboration
with Robert Weekley and Scarborough Toyota Service Manager Pat Barnes and is fully described in our History page.
It was an event to Showcase Battery Electric Vehicles, Plug-in
Hybrids, Hybrids, and Electric Vehicle Conversions of internal combustion engine (ICE) Vehicles, showing
Personal Ingenuity in creating solutions and taking personal responsibility to move Electric Vehicles
Forward.
To see our Growth and follow the highlight of our changes going
forward - please view our History > Highlights
page.
As EV Fest Grew and went forward, so did the Exhibitors - and the
Industry, with a progressive increase in the number and variety of Commercial or OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) Vehicles exhibited by the OEM's themselves, or Dealers, or individual Owners, and sometimes by
all three!
EV Fest is still about the same things as it started - and more!
It is here to bring together most - if not always all - of the choices that we can choose from: to improve
our driving experience, reduce or eliminate our dependence on the pump, share solutions for others, and also
to educate, train, and help each interested person learn how to deal with their challenges on the path to
owning and driving their own electric vehicle.
We do this by inviting those with solutions - both to sell, as
well as to share, to exhibit at EV Fest, and when it's possible - we will always work to offer test rides,
and more, so you can get an idea if you could make the move to Electric in your driving
style!
We constantly look for the best Venue for EV Fest - based on
customer and exhibitor feedback, and observing how the event went. We have found that the things that make EV
Fest work well (From a Venue Perspective) are: Easy Access and Large Guest Parking Space; Large Covered
Vehicle Accessible Exhibit Space; Access to facilities on Site (Food, Restrooms); and since guest themselves
are now driving Electric Vehicles - On Site Electric Vehicle Charging! Also - having Electric Vehicle Test
Rides and Test Drives on site - suggests that more Electric Vehicle Charging Points at the venue - are better
than fewer!
Venues that meet these above requirements are not easy to
find, but we have tracked down two leading potential spaces for future growth and use, The Hamilton Wentworth Twin Pad Arena, at Highway 6 and Dundas
(Highway #5) near Hamilton, and also the Mold-Masters Sports Complex, in Georgetown. ( Let us know of
any other or better venues that meet or exceed these kinds of requirements, as exhibited from these
examples! )
We are also searching for the best Exhibitors to have at EV Fest,
and your continuing support in giving us feedback for that helps!
Tell Everyone you know, your friends in the press, your Facebook,
Linkedin, and Twitter contacts, and come out and support EV Fest in making sure events like this
continue to offer one-stop Shopping, Education, and Networking opportunities for Electric Vehicle
acquisition, Green Energy opportunities, and a place to meet new friends of like
mind!
Any offers of assistance in Funding, Sponsoring, and providing
leads are all welcome, as well as urging the Major OEM's and related companies to join us as exhibitors at EV
Fest!
