Smart Kids, Clean Cars to Descend on Wake County

Several hundred young people will come to the Raleigh area this Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2, for the annual Electric Vehicle Challenge, and the public is invited to join them. Sponsored by the nonprofit Carolina Electric Vehicles Coalition, the competition is the culmination of a yearlong program that aims to teach students in grades 6 through 12 the importance of alternative fuel development.

The event will take place on Friday at the Harris Energy and Environmental Center at 3932 New Hill-Holleman Road in New Hill, about 22 miles southwest of Raleigh, and on Saturday at Wakefield High School, 220 Wakefield Pines Dr. in Raleigh. For more details about the event, click here.
