On September 15, 2014, a group of electric car enthusiasts met with Grant Ervine, Sustainability Manager, City of Pittsburgh, to kick off the National Drive Electric Week at the Carnegie Mellon University’s Electric Car Garage. Grant presented a proclamation to Michael Kirven, the organizer of National Electric Drive Week – Pittsburgh, declaring the week of September 15-21, 2014, National Drive Electric Week – Pittsburgh. The Proclamation was signed by City of Pittsburgh’s Mayor Bill Peduto.
Mr. Ervin was able to see the nine charging stations that are installed at the Electric Car Garage (all in use) as well as hear about the different levels of chargers and see a wide variety of electric and plug-in electric vehicles. Grant even got to drive the Chevy Volt!
