Do you own an electric vehicle? The City is inviting local electric vehicle owners to be part of Electric Avenue — a special feature of the 31st annual Hot Nite in the City Show and Shine — taking place on Saturday, Aug. 9, in downtown Kamloops.

Electric Avenue will take over a full city block to showcase electric vehicles, e-bikes, and other sustainable transportation and technologies.

“The goal is to increase local adoption of electric vehicles by creating an interactive space where locals can share their electric vehicle ownership experience in our climate,” said Jaimi Garbutt, the City’s sustainability educator.

“For those curious about electric vehicles, the ability to connect with real-world electric vehicle owners helps to raise awareness on the benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from operating an electric vehicle.”

The first 25 Electric Avenue registrants will receive a $20 Downtown Kamloops gift card, an official Hot Nite T-shirt, and a commemorative dash plaque.

    Electric vehicles are the antithesis of car culture.
