Event Report

We had people from NCEMC, Wake Electric, Triad Vehicle Association, NCEDQ, CH Transit, Chapel Hill Carrboro Chamber of Commerce and Chargepoint join our event, some of them bringing their personal EVs, work EVs and we even had Chapel Hill Transit bring their new EV bus to the event and took people on two different rides. We also had a handful of members and foot traffic from within the plaza stop by the event.

Event Description

 

Join Piedmont Electric Cooperative for this year's Drive Electric Week event where we're thrilled to share the future of sustainable transportation. The event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a state-of-the-art DC fast charger followed by a variety of experiences for all attendees. Attendees can feel the seamless power of emission-free driving with an EV test drive or hop onto an electric bike and cruise around. And don't miss the chance to hop on board an electric bus for a ride-along, offered by Chapel Hill Transit, to discover the comfort and efficiency of electric public transportation. Join us in celebrating the sustainable revolution, where innovation meets eco-consciousness.
