AUBURN —
A wide selection of electric vehicle makes and models will be on display at the free EV showcase at Auburn University on Friday, Sept. 22.
Reporters, photographers and videographers are invited to the EVent, which will feature EV owners showcasing their vehicles and engaging in one-on-one conversations to answer questions about technology, cost affordability and other subjects unique to EVs.
The EVent will be held in the parking lot just north of the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center.
“There are more EVs on Alabama roads than ever before, and this is a perfect opportunity for people to talk one-on-one with EV owners to learn about these vehicles,” said Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition Executive Director Mark Bentley, one of the EVent’s coordinators. “The very best way to learn about EVs is to talk to people who drive them every day.”
The EVent is sponsored by the Drive Electric Alabama Auburn Chapter, and it’s the third straight year an EV showcase has been held on the Auburn University campus to celebrate National Drive Electric Week and is designed to raise awareness about all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
The EVent is free to the public and will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
