Event Report

We had a great launch of ELECTRIC Cars & Coffee in Toledo, Ohio at Yark Nissan. With 25 attendees sharing their experience with EVs over coffee and donuts, it was a fun day to share the past success of EVs and get excited about the next few years of plug in electric vehicles! We had visitors from Dayton, Cincinnati and Michigan.

Attendees were able to get up close and personal with the retired BMW i3 and the Chevy Volt, both history making vehicles with the launch of mass market EVs in 2013. There were two Chevy Bolts, a Chrysler Pacifica (the only mini van PHEV) and the Jeep Wrangler PHEV made in Toledo.*

Attendees LOVED the NDEW giveaways. Some of the items were given to sales staff who excel at selling the Nissan LEAF, and they loved them too!

New cars were not available because of the chip shortage. But attendees were encouraged to drive 1/4 a mile down the road to Yark Ford to test drive the new Ford Mustang Mach E GT.

We look forward to Electric Cars & Coffee becoming a monthly event.






*Regretfully a Tesla driver decided to come to the event, use the only available  charger at the dealership (taking advantage of the free charge), and walked out of the event without participating.
