“We are so please to have them back here today to show our residents what driving electric is all about and, from what I’ve been told, you’ve had a great day, a lot of people interested, so that's great to hear.”“It has been a fantastic event,” he said. “As you can see, a terrific turnout, and just lots and lots of people very engaged … very curious about electric vehicles.
“This is exactly the sort of thing that we love to support. We want to meet people where they are, talk about their concerns, support their enthusiastic takes on electric vehicles, and then give them hands-on experience. So that way, they know about the electric future and can feel more comfortable taking it on.”“And if you want more information about electric cars in general, you can also visit our sister site which is evassist.ca, which is the provincial education program.
