Event Report
On Sunday, September 22, 2019, Acterra conducted it's 5th annual NDEW EV Ride & Drive event. Over 50 staff and volunteers provided an impressive 214 electric vehicle test drives in a
three hour period. Check out these GREAT PHOTOS of the event.
Here's just one of the many positive responses we received (via text) after the event: “Hey Henry, it’s Kathy, I did the first test drive with you today. I just bought a model S, scheduled for delivery this Thursday. If I take delivery by the end of this month I get free super charging for 2 years!!!! Couldn’t pass it up…Thanks so much once again!”
Our post-test drive survey results were rewarding: attendees who had a "very positive" perception of EVs jumped from 67% to 81% after their test drives, and 60% of test drivers indicated that their experience accelerated the timing of their EV purchase.
A special shout out to our generous sponsors, the City of Palo Alto and PowerFlex Systems!
