Charge Across America has put together a rally style event that, in this first
challenge, has put together five diverse teams of vehicles and drivers to
"race" electric-powered across the United States starting from the Revel
facility (a partner) in Brooklyn, New York and ending ten days later through
Los Angeles to the Ventura County location of Westlake Autoscape, a luxury
motor-culture social club near Thousand Oaks West of the San Fernando valley.

Along the way at an early midpoint (given distance), the teams will hold the
first of two race course press receptions that will highlight interest
partners in the Charge Across America focused effort.
Detroit, Michigan:
A location picked because Detroit continues to be a leader in the mobility
ecosystem through the efforts of the Michigan Office of Future Mobility in
connecting key people, places, and resources across the state and DTE, the
local utility, seeks to serve and educate southeast Michigan citizens on the
future of energy. These government and municipal entities have teamed with
Thirdware, a leader in enterprise applications with ties to OEMs in the
industry, to leverage those connections and host a huge splash event on
November 1st, 2021.
Vegas Speedway, Las Vegas, Nevada:
Lithium Americas, a vanguard lithium provider, has teamed with other mining
(Ioneer, Comstock), Manufacturing (Albemarle, Panasonic), and Recycling
(American Battery) to host a keystone reception on November 8th, 2021, at
the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This event will bring together these industry
experts and guest speakers, including the Governor, Stephen F. Sisolak and
Senior Senator Catherine Marie Cortez Masto.
Along the way, this whole challenge will be documented by production house
TangentVector - a CAA official production partner. TangentVector is an
award-winning production company behind groundbreaking films made for NBC,
Universal, Netflix, Discovery, and Hagerty. TangentVector, which focuses its
pursuits solely on the automotive space, will film every mile of CAA and
produce a one-hour documentary about this groundbreaking race. TangentVector
is auspiciously poised to tell the Charge Across America story with more
than a decade of experience in video production, pertaining to thrilling
developments and events within the automotive industry.
Looking forward for more updates along the way.
