About the Renew America Roadtrip™ (RAR)

Driving America Green   (CLICK HERE FOR OUR UPCOMING EVENTS)

The Renew America Roadtrip™ (RAR) made history last summer when it completed America’s first volunteer, green, charity drive coast-to-coast in an all-electric sports car - a Tesla Motor's Roadster.  (See a video below from our launch of the Driving America Green campaign last summer from NYC)

RAR continues to raise money for charities and awareness of renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly technologies through an on-going series of campaigns and appearances throughout the country.  In late March/early April of 2010 RAR completed the Driving the Northeast Green! campaign from Boston to Philly and on April 22, RAR celebrated Earth Day with the EPA in Boston.  (See more on completed and upcoming campaigns here)

Assisting with Green Adoption

The RAR team also goes beyond merely evangelizing renewable energy. Through our Renew America Energy (RAE) subdivision, we provide education and consulting services to entities interested in adopting green technologies such as solar and we act as a trusted liaison between these potential adopters and best-in-class providers and installers. (To find out more about RAE services, send us an inquiry here specifying your interest area, e.g., solar assessment)

Renew America Roadtrip on the Green Show (July, 2009)

More  

The Tesla Motor’s Roadster, a $130k+ zero-emission, all-electric luxury sports car is unique enough with only about 1000 presently on the road, but the Renew America Roadster (known by some as the “RAR’dster”) has become iconic as America’s Greenest Sports Car following its pioneering cross-country trip.  For six months following that drive, the RAR’dster has been on display as part of the Going Green exhibit at the California Auto Museum in Sacramento, but this March it took to the road again to continue its mission of educating the public about renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly technologies. 

Did you know?

The "Renew America Roadtrip" name and mission were inspired by President O'bama's "Renew America Together" initiative - a call to community service and stewardship.  Through its volunteer initiative, RAR hopes to motivate others by example to “get out there and make a difference.” 

Street Cred

"The Renew America Roadtrip flies in the face of the ‘impractical’ sticker that has for some long been illegitimately slapped onto the electric car.  By driving across the United States in an unmodified PRODUCTION electric vehicle, the RAR team in a very tangible, visible, and undeniable way addresses the myths and propaganda that have been used to ‘Kill the Electric Car’ in the past." - RAR supporter
