Whatever Happened to Electric Avenue?

 Electric Avenue - Was an Extra Event, organized in Concert with Formula North, by some of the EV Fest Team, back in 2013, to support the Students Vision of The Formula Racers Being Built with Hybrid, And or Electric Drivetrains. A Selection of EV Fest Exhibitors Attended the Formula North 2013 Event, and were Sub-Labeled "Electric Avenue 2013" as a Part of that Event! They were, in Turn, Supported by the Staff and Team of Formula North.

A Repeat coordinated event with Formula North in 2014 Did not happen, due to Scheduling and Organizing Timing Challenges, and Since has not been Re-Visited.

Additional ideas for Electric Avenue have been Considered by the EV fest Team, to Organize Co-Located EV Activities and Events, along with Other Public Events, but have not yet been developed to the Point of Practical Materialization.

As of August 2020, Current COVID-19 Realities have also been a Strain on Event Development of In Person Larger Events, and the Funding of Such Events has been challenging in the past, without such additional strains, so creativity levels must be elevated for any similar events, and it seems the "FEEL" of an event, like these, with everyone required to wear masks, or shields, defeats a lot of the joy of such events.

Please Review this blog for any updates, in the coming months, as we attempt to redesign these kinds of events, in concert with other gatherings. (Obviously - Limits on Crowd Sizes need to be resolved, most obviously, by the result of Daily Cases of COVID-19 Dropping to a Point of near Zero, for an extended period of time, before such realities are practical.)

Based on the Workplace Requirements currently in Place, of Mandatory Mask Wearing On Property, I can Only Expect that until such Requirements are Lifted, any thoughts or revisiting Events like these, are under an extra burden of restriction, unsuitable for Serious Event Planning.

We May Consider Different Aspects for Electric Avenue, as well, to allow for Smaller Gatherings, at some point, going forward.

New Registration Choice Added for Electric Avenue 2013

One Backup option was just added to the Registration for Electric Avenue 2013 Exhibitor Interest.

Since not everyone can respond in the required timely manner - and some just love to wait to the last minute - I have added "Electric Avenue 2013 Exhibitor Interest (Intention - Last Minute Notification)" to the Ticketing on http://electricavenue2013.eventbrite.ca/ - and on the embedded ticketing portion added to http://electricavenue.evfest.ca/.

The choice to charge $25.00 Plus Fees is to encourage a reduction in Last Minute Registrants!

The notes attached to that ticket state:

  • If you want to Exhibit at Electric Avenue 2013 - but decided too late, Here is a little motivation to try earlier next time - and to cover our last minute organizing costs. It is in addition to the Exhibitor Registration Fees from Formula North, and is Non-Refundable. This option expires at 3:00 PM on Wednesday, May 8th, 2013, to give you time to complete your Payment and Registration to Formula North by May 10th, 2013.

It might be a little unusual to charge such a late fee, but not all that much, considering most of those who miss the Friday Regular Deadline have been notified of this event - repeatedly for some time now - beginning in January, 2013, and have yet to respond. So if suddenly they decide to come - here is a little motivation to plan better for such events, instead of putting more pressure on all the organizers.

As they have known for some time also - this event is held in conjunction with Formula North - and they have had the tools on their site to complete the Exhibitor Registration with them - visible now for some time!

Hopefully everyone will get in line by tonight instead of paying extra for getting behind the 8-Ball!

Electric Avenue 2013 Gets its very own web page!

After being busy with the PlugShare Blog since late February, I finally got on to put out a simple - if not elegant - web page for Electric Avenue 2013!

The Actual Page URL = http://electricavenue.evfest.ca/ and is where I will add information that will be changing rapidly over the next few days - plus adding Posts to the Electric Avenue Blog. The changing Information will be to share who has planned on coming and exhibiting at Electric Avenue - and Committed to Formula North for there payment and contract terms.

We are now just 24 days away from Electric Avenue 2013 - and if you have not registered your intention to attend, but would like to be there - now would be a great time!

What we know at present - is there is in the planning to be both Models of the Tesla Motors Product Line on Display - both a Roadster and a Model S. There may be more than one of at least one of those!

Call and email your Favorite EV Fest Exhibitor from 2011 or 2012, and let them know you'd like to see them here! Sent them one of the links above, or this one for Electric Avenue 2013 - http://electricavenue2013.eventbrite.ca/.
