It won’t quite be Disneyland, but this month at events like the International Electric Vehicle Symposium, attendees will be able to go on rides in over two dozen alternative-fuel vehicles. Features of these events include hydrogen fuel cell-power SUVs and solar paneled hybrid cars. Besides the car demonstrations, the symposium will have panel discussions and seminars. Some topics they’ll wrestle with are battery technology and fuel-cell development.
Additionally, next Saturday (Dec. 8) will be the first annual Renewable L.A. festival. There, event-goers can ride in or drive (it depends on which car) more alternative-fuel vehicles. There won't be any Deloreans, but they’ll have a Volkswagen Jetta powered by biodiesel oil present, along with a Prius equipped with rooftop solar panels.
Planners want to “raise awareness of solar electricity as a clean renewable energy source and to raise awareness of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles,” said Zan Dubin Scott, one of the event organizers.
