Portland State's Sustainability Club is hosting a "Clean Car Show"
event in the Park Blocks between Smith Memorial Student Union and
Cramer Hall today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Three
representatives from the Oregon Electric Vehicle Association will be at
the event to discuss the benefits of an electric car and how students
can go about purchasing and maintaining an electric vehicle.
Alex
Hosford, event coordinator, said attendees will be able to look under
the hoods and sit in the models of various hybrid and electric cars,
including a Toyota Prius and a Honda Civic Hybrid.
Also hosting
the event will be representatives from the student interest group
OSPIRG, PSU's Bicycle Co-Op, FlexCar, PSU's Outdoor Program and the
student-run café Food for Thought, Hosford said.
"It's all about getting students involved with sustainability, so I tried to bring in as many groups as I could," she said.
The event is free to attend, and a student ID is not required to participate.
