The Mobile Showcase Program by Steven Alaman
The document outlines a Pacificorp-funded project to create a mobile version of Forth's downtown showcase, enabling broader educational outreach on electric vehicles and micro mobility options in Oregon communities. The mobile showcase includes interactive features like Wi-Fi, touch screens, and information on EV resources, while ensuring safety and cleanliness during test drives. Partner organizations will provide local expertise and support for the project, which is designed to enhance accessibility to electric vehicle education.

- 3. Concept in action Plug’nDrive is a organization in Canada that promotions electric vehicles through test drive events and through appointments at their physical showcase as well. Plug’n Drive used a slightly different design, but created their showcase to fulfil the same mission as Forth. They were an extremely helpful resource when we first mapped out how this project would operate.

The showcase is 8 feet wide and 20 feet long and designed to be efficiently towed to preserve vehicle range and is set up with ADA compliant doors and ramps. Partners Our partners for this project include PacifiCorp, Sustainable NW, African American Alliance for Homeownership, and The Environmental Center. Each CBO partner brings a local expertise and will assist with event planning, support, and local promotion.
