The event includes:
- Test drive of 4 - 8 EVs
- Static vehicle displays and EV charging demonstrations.
- See how to set up charging at home through Xcel Energy interactive garage.
- Learn more about the cost savings of driving electric.
The following vehicles will be available for a test drive: Kia EV6 GT Line AWD, Polestar 2, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Hyundai Ioniq 5 (more may be added to the list)


Xcel Energy EV Proposal comments
Make your voice heard and submit your comments before the April 5 deadline.
As an EV Owner you should consider submitting your comments This is a very important proposal for Xcel and would provide a lot of charging infrastructure and even electric buses in Minnesota.
