Last week, dozens of Delaware Valley electric vehicle drivers and enthusiasts participated in two consecutive lunch-time events at Courthouse Square in downtown Norristown.

The show was one of 278 similar events, as part of National Drive Electric Week, which ran from Sept. 9-17.

NDEW is in its seventh year and is organized nationally by Plug In America, the Sierra Club, and the Electric Auto Association.

The Nissan LEAF is the exclusive national automotive sponsor, with a new model being provided by Conicelli Nissan in Conshohocken.

Electric cars are rapidly becoming more popular as drivers learn how great these cars are for the environment and their wallet.
