BEE-U-TEE-FULL fall day dawned on Lexington's NDEW Event last Saturday. Thanks so much to the Summit management team who graciously provided some 30 parking spaces for the event.TV Channel Fox 56 came out and did an interview that aired Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to viewers in Central Kentucky.
Michael Menor, EVOLVEKY and Tesla Owners of Kentucky President and EVOLVEKY Vice-President Wrensey Gill were on hand 90 minutes before the event making sure all was in order for the start of the event at 10am.
Some 20 EV owners with Teslas, (3's, Y's, X's, S's) Kia's, (EV6's), Hyundai's, (Ionic 5's), Chevy's, (Bolt and Blazer) and Ford's (MachE's and F-150 Lightning's) spent 5 quality hours visiting with the public in one of the busiest malls in Central Kentucky, the Summit at Fritz Farm.
Local Green Loan provider Members Heritage Credit Union, Solar provider Solar Energy Solutions and a " come to you " mobile charge company PowerFuel were on hand. Local utility company, Kentucky Utilities had a last minute conflict but provided valuable pre-event coverage for the event on the local NBC TV affiliate..
