Long Island Electric Auto Association.**

National Plug In Day is Sunday, October 16, 2011!  It is an unprecedented nationwide
calling out for electric cars in the USA!!!  This event is being held because of
the environmental, cash back, and reducing our reliance on imported oils.

electric vehicles during National Plug In Day

Plug In America, the Sierra Club, and my friends at the Electric Auto Association
are working on this nationwide effort.

The “flagship event” will be a huge parade of plug-in cars in the L.A. area. Chris
Paine from the films “Who Killed the Electric Car?” and “Revenge of the Electric
Car,” are going to speak.

They also expect:

to at least double the number of vehicles from history’s greenest procession. This
_was the 78-vehicle parade_, which showcased a stunning array of [eco-friendly cars](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/01/evnoires-role-in-the-u-s-a-blueprint-for-ev-transportation/)
and highlighted the importance of sustainable transportation in today’s world. It’s
being coordinated by Plug In America, an organization dedicated to promoting electric
vehicles and reducing the carbon footprint. That was in sync with President Obama’s
inauguration, a time marked by a renewed commitment to environmental policies and
clean energy initiatives. The parade aimed not only to celebrate these advancements
in automotive technology but also to inspire communities to embrace greener alternatives
for a healthier planet.
