Why consider an electric vehicle?

  • Thursday, March 5, 2020, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Are you curious about EVs but not sure where to start? In this brownbag lunch and EV display, we will cover EV basics (myths, technology, incentives, EV models, total cost of ownership). In the remaining 20 minutes, we will also showcase actual EVs and answer further questions.

  • Discuss with electric vehicle (EV) educators whether driving electric is right fo ryou, common EV myths, battery technology, and experience in EV purchasing & Ownership;
  • Learn how EVs have low-to-no-emissions, contribute to energy independence, and lower fuel costs;
  • Compare total cost of ownership including maintenance costs between internal combustion engines and EVs;
  • Ask about the Drive Clean rebate, federal tax credit, and other incentives that lower up front costs of EV ownership.

Location:
