Our Community - Electric Vehicles

EV owners - space is limited - please be mindful we will likely have very close quarters for all and want to showcase all types of EVs. We may need to ask you to move your car during the day to highlight various cars. We hope everyone will have the EV spirit and be gracious.

- Electric Vehicle Charging

Electric vehicles need charging stations to fuel up - ones that will charge quickly and those that work overnight. Come and learn the differences - and why Fast Charging Stations make sense right along the bustling Main Street of Keene - to help our native EV owners and attract EV tourism. 

We are going to have EVs from dealers and private owners. These EVs are going to be located in an adjacent lot - across the Rail to Trail - take a look at what is available - ask the dealers and owners what it is like to drive and own an EV. (We can tell you - you will learn how the pick up is AWESOME and the maintenance is almost non-existent!) 

You will also get a chance to talk about how to install a charger in your home garage to charge overnight - it isn't difficult or that costly - just call your local electrician!

So - come with your questions - and get ready to do some number crunching - because the cost of an EV isn't as high as you might think when you look at the energy and maintenance cost savings PLUS rebates that exist on some EVs. Owners will give you their numbers - you can learn from those who have lived the EV life here in New England!
