Earth Day poker run for electric vehicle drivers

Electric vehicle drivers can celebrate Earth Day while taking a poker run around Lake Tahoe on April 21.

TahoeAlternativeFuels.com is hosting the free activity from 11am-5pm as part of its ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the ease and accessibility of driving plug-in electric vehicles in the Tahoe-Truckee region. Drivers of any electric vehicle are invited to participate.

Registration and the first card of the poker run will take place at the Tahoe Truckee Earth Day Celebration at the Village at Squaw Valley, in the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency booth at 11am. Then it’s off to downtown Truckee for the second stop at the train depot’s charging lot.

Participants will traverse the East Shore of Lake Tahoe to their next stop at the Coachman Hotel in South Lake Tahoe.

Up next, the poker run’s fourth stop will be at one of Lake Tahoe’s newest fast-charge stations, the EVGO station is located in the Raley’s Shopping Center Aisle 1 gas station at the Y in South Lake Tahoe.

The last leg of the drive will take participants up the West Shore before arriving at the Resort at Squaw Creek for the final card of the poker run.
