4 free EV events in Alabama to celebrate Earth Day

More electric vehicle (EV) models are available than ever before, from full-sized pick-up trucks to sedans, SUVs and sleek sports cars.

If you want to get out to learn more about the latest EV models being built, the benefits to driving one or how you can get one, you’re in luck. There are a few events to celebrate Earth Day that will be specifically tailored to showcasing a variety of electric vehicles.

In each of the four cities, EV owners will share their personal experiences and talk one-on-one with anyone interested in learning more about going electric.

“While it’s true that we have more electric vehicles on Alabama highways than ever before, many people still have questions about EVs. There are so many new models out there, and the EV market is evolving so quickly that it’s hard to keep up. That’s why talking to EV owners who are driving electric every day can be so valuable.”

~ Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition President Michael Staley
