GREENWICH, CT — A coalition of groups dedicated to sustainability and environmental causes is putting on an expo June 18 to showcase clean energy vehicles and equipment for Fairfield County residents. The "Electrify Your Life" expo is scheduled to take place Saturday, June 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the parking lot of the Cos Cob Train Station The event is the brainchild of Greenwich's conservation commission, which aims to give families a hands-on, electric taste of things they usually must burn fossil fuels to operate. A variety of electric cars will be showcased, including the Hyundai Kona Electric and Ioniq EV, Nissan LEAF, Kia Niro, Rivan, Audi e-tron, several Teslas and other surprises. Members of the EV Club of Connecticut, as well as some auto dealerships will be on hand to answer questions about the vehicles, and some cars will be available for a test drive. Spurred by the advocacy group Quiet Yards Greenwich, the expo will also feature emission-free alternatives to noisy, polluting, landscape equipment, including professional and residential models. Demand is high for electric bikes, and some e-bikes will also be on display and available for riding. This will be a free and family-friendly event, with live music, food trucks, ice cream and kids activities, including a robotic mower game and a remote-controlled car obstacle course. "Electrify Your Life" is a privately funded event. Donations are encouraged to be made here
