Event Report

We had four plug-in vehicles at this event including a BMW i3, a Chevrolet Volt, a Nissan Leaf, and a Tesla Model S. The Nissan Leaf was brought by a local dealership, and the other vehicles were brought by local residents and businesses who drive them. The EV owners were very enthusiastic and answered several questions about performance, charging, fueling expense, and overall satisfaction with their vehicles. A representative from Refuel Colorado was able to answer questions regarding incentives available for EV purchases. There were even a handful of attendees who test drove the Nissan Leaf, and others who went for rides in the Tesla, and BMW. Many of the attendees thanked us for the event and were appreciative to have information available dispelling the myths about EVs.
