Electric Car Demonstration and Test Drive Free To Public

While the public's knowledge may have increased about electric vehicles in recent years, there's still a lot we don't know.

AAA hopes to change that with a free electric vehicle demonstration being held today at its Westshore location.

The Electric Vehicle Showcase is taking place today, February 16 8:30am-1pm in the AAA Westshore Office parking lot at 1515 N Westshore Blvd. in Tampa. (Free event; AAA membership is not required.)

AAA and EV Industry leaders want to offer consumers a chance to talk with experts, EV owners and test drive multiple electric vehicles. A lunch of hot dogs, chips and drinks will be served from 11am-1pm.

Here's a list of vehicles you will be able to see at today's event:

Nissan Leaf (2011 and 2012)
Mitsubushi i (2012)
Chevy Volt (2011)
Porsche Electric Conversion
Nissan Altima Electric Conversion
Nissan Sentra Electric Conversion
