Event Report
This year, we held a virtual lunch and learn for anyone interested in electric vehicles. It was moderated by Adriane Jaynes, the Tulsa Area Clean Cities coordinator. She presented an EV 101 presentation, an introduction to different types of plug-in vehicles, charging, and benefits of driving electric. Then we heard from Dirk Spiers, the founder and CEO of Spiers New Technologies, an EV battery recycling and refurbishing company based in Oklahoma City, who presented on battery technology. Finally, we had a panel of EV drivers based in Tulsa, and did an open ended Q&A with participants. This discussed an array of topics from range anxiety, at home charging, weather impacts on range, maintenance and electricity costs, etc.Event Description
