Innovation Motorcade with a vehicle or charge

Washington is one of the
most influential cities in the world for
addressing energy and environmental issues.
Since Earth Week attracts an influx of
industry stakeholders, media and visitors, this
is a perfect opportunity to assemble a parade
of electric drive vehicles in the streets of
our Nation's capital.
The Secretary of
Energy, top Administration and Government
officials, and industry executives will be
invited to speak, inspect, drive, and charge
the vehicles. Prominent and relevant
celebrities will be invited to participate as
well.
We are inviting organizations from
the electric drive industry participate in a
number of ways - showcasing your electric drive
vehicle models and charging equipment - as well
as taking full advantage of this tremendous
public relations and marketing opportunity
through event sponsorship for your products and
services associated with electric
mobility.
Vehicle and charging equipment
participation is $2,500 per company. Event
sponsorship is $15,000 - offered to six
companies that are non-automotive. We encourage
you to act fast - as there are only few
sponsorship openings left!
