Event Report

The NDEW event was organized and hosted by the Exeter Energy. Committee, and held in Exeter's downtown in the plaza in front of our community's Town Hall.  We had about 20 electric cars on exhibit including four test drive vehicles from  local dealers.  One local dealer who focuses the sale of pre-owned EVs (Greenwave) attended for the first time. Exhibitors included Revision Energy, installer of solar arrays, heat pumps and home EV chargers, Unitil, the local Utility and the event host, the Exeter Energy Committee.  There were a number of folks shopping for their first EV who attended and took advantage of the opportunity to test drive multiple vehicles.  Lots of good information sharing and myth busting was provided by the 15 or so showcase vehicle owners who attended.  Vehicles attracting the most attention included  two CyberTrucks, a Ford F150 Lightning, two Hyundai Ioniqs, a Caddilac Lyriq and an early model RAV4 PEV (2012).  Public turnout for the event was relatively light compared to past years, due (we think)  in part to a hiatus in the event that occurred during and after COVID, limited publicity, and the general maturing of the EV market.
