Event Description
In the last year, EV ownership in our area has grown by 50%. Why? We can think of a few reasons:
Lower fuels costs
Less maintenance
High torque performance
Quieter and cleaner transportation
Whether you already own an EV and want to share the love or you are EV curious and want a chance to talk to real, local drivers, this event is for you!
