The Village of Hastings-on-Hudson shared the following information about its 2021 Drive Electric Earth Day event:
Hastings-on-Hudson Drive Electric Earth Day 2021
The 2021 celebration took place on April 17, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. The original announcement said no registration was required.
The event invited visitors to explore affordable electric vehicles, learn about rebates and discounts available at the time, and hear from experts (like Seth Leitman, The Green Living Guy) about the benefits of EVs and hear practical tips from experienced EV owners.

Electric Vehicles at Earth Day Hastings
Electric vehicles were moving into the mainstream in 2021. The event featured EVs, including the village’s Tesla Model Y police car, at a look-and-learn and ride-and-drive event! Attendees could speak with experts, explore incentives offered at the time, and hear tips from people who had gone electric.
At the time, social distancing and masks were required at in-person Drive Electric Earth Day 2021 events. Please see this information about how to improve how your mask protects you. For more information, see our in-person event safety requirements.
Sustainable Westchester plans to help get out the word, our Mayor will send an email out to the entire Village next week, and our Conservation Commission will be promoting the event as well. Lastly, it is adjacent to the popular Hastings Farmer’s Market, so we hope to attract people coming to and from the market.
Sustainable Westchester and Electric Transportation
Local Westchester municipalities, businesses, institutions, residents and students can go green. All, by participating in the Sustainable Westchester electric vehicle (EV) discount program.
Now more than ever, individuals, companies, and municipal fleets can now own or lease a variety of EVs, connect to EV charging station infrastructure and install solar-powered EV charging stations — our “Sunshine to EVs” and chargers that allow for vehicle to grid technologies.
