'Can't Miss' Electric Vehicle Event Supporting Autism Awareness

• The event will take place June 16-18, 2023 in Las Vegas, NV
• Proceeds from the event will be donated to Autism Speaks to support their mission
• Three days packed with family-friendly fun with activities planned for kids and adults alike

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain in popularity, clubs and groups dedicated to spreading awareness and education about the technology are growing. EVs are celebrated for their many benefits not only for the owners of these vehicles, but also for the many ways they help the community at large by reducing carbon pollution, reducing noise in our communities, and many other benefits as well.

While these things alone would be enough for most people, two leaders in the EV community, driven by a desire to make the world a better place, are taking things a step further.

David Lucht, a passionate advocate for electric vehicles, and Greg Collaço, a supporter of Autism Speaks, have partnered to create a series of electric vehicle events to raise money and awareness for Autism Speaks, the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization.

The first event, EV Madness Las Vegas, is set to take place on June 16-18, 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and promises to be three days packed with family-friendly fun with activities planned for kids and adults alike. It's free to register for the event, so make sure you don't miss out!

"I'm thrilled to partner with Greg on this initiative and to use our shared passion for electric vehicles to raise awareness and funds for such an important cause," said Lucht. "Electric vehicles are not only better for the environment, but they can also help people with autism by reducing noise pollution and providing a smoother and quieter ride," he added.

Making a difference is the driving force behind the event. Proceeds from EV Madness Las Vegas will be donated to Autism Speaks to support their mission of enhancing the lives of people with autism and their families, increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder, and advancing research into its causes and better interventions for individuals on the spectrum.

"We're excited to bring the electric vehicle community together in Las Vegas for a good cause," said Collaço. "Our goal is to raise awareness and funds for autism research while promoting the benefits of electric vehicles and clean transportation.”

The event is going to be a ton of fun for all! Attendees will have the opportunity to meet other electric vehicle enthusiasts, learn about the latest technology and innovations, and have fun for a good cause. Planned activities for the event include:

• Group meet up and photo shoot at the Primm Tesla Supercharger, Terrible’s Hotel and Casino and Seven Magic Mountains, during drive to Las Vegas on Friday.
  
  
• The Fabulous Las Vegas Sign EV takeover photo and video shoot on Saturday morning, complete with Elvis impersonator and Las Vegas Showgirls.
• Group dinner at Best Friend Restaurant at the Park MGM on Friday and Texas de Brazil Steakhouse on Saturday where you can indulge in some of the most unique cuisine Vegas has to offer.
• Optional ride on the 550′ High Roller Observation Wheel, offering a breathtaking view of the city skyline.

This event is co-hosted by BESPOKEV, Tesla Drivers Club, Tesla Club SoCal, and F The Pump. For more information and to register your attendance, visit: EV Madness Event

Only Used Tesla
The marketplace exclusively designed for used Teslas. From auto-dealerships colluding with government to restrict consumer choice, to cost-prohibitive technology, to limited stock from overwhelming demand… not everyone who dreams of owning a Tesla has been able to make that dream a reality.

EV Resource
EV Resource began out of a passion for electric vehicles and the desire to share the many benefits of EV ownership with the world. We recognize the challenges of navigating the educational hurdles required to switch to an EV and strive to make that easier.
