Come with us on an EV road trip! June 10

[Vernon County Energy Discussion]

Come with us on an EV road trip!

What is it like to own an electric vehicle? We'll talk about range, chargers, and charging; on road trips and at home.

 This presentation will clear up much of the mystery around electric cars. When you understand the basics of EV ownership you’ll see how an EV can be your everyday car.

 Join Al Buss as he talks about what it's like owning and travelling with an electric car. With 5 years of EV ownership and over 85,000 EV miles, Al and his EV's have been around the block a few times.

 Mark your calendars - June 10 at 6:30PM on Zoom.

Please let us know if you have questions beforehand!
