Event Report

Sponsors: Palmetto Clean Fuels Coalition, Electrify America.
We held three virtual events to cover the EV spectrum from high (Porsche Taycan), medium (Tesla line-up plus Chevy Volt), to Low (used Nissan Leaf).  The first event was held at McDanial's Porsche dealership in Columbia, SC where we dove in depth to the Taycan followed by a test drive and detailed look at the customization options when ordering.  Second, we reviewed the Tesla model line-up (S, 3, X, and Y) along with the Chevy Bolt.  A potential Tesla Model X buyer was provided test drive and it was his first ever drive in an EV.  We ended the week with a detailed interview with two Columbia used EV owners about their decision to buy a used EV and potential pitfalls to avoid.  We closed with an interview with the owner of www.onlyusedtesla.com to understand the used EV market from his view point.
