Vermont Electric Car Webinar
Are you interested in learning more about electric vehicles?
Drive Electric Vermont and Waterbury LEAP are hosting a free webinar about electric vehicles (EVs) on Wednesday, May 20 from 7 to 8 PM. We hope you'll join us!
Vermont’s incentive program offers up to $5,000 for an EV purchase, but that incentive has an uncertain future due to COVID-19 budget issues. Now is a great time to consider moving to an electric vehicle.
The webinar will cover a range of topics regarding electric cars:
What to keep in mind if you’re considering switching over from a gas-powered car.
Types of EVs available in Vermont (including some recently introduced models).
Different ways to charge, and current availability of charging options.
Incentives for buying and EV.
You’ll also hear from some Vermonters who’ve made the switch to an EV.
There is no charge to join the webinar, but you must pre-register. Click here to register.
Please forward this link to anyone in Vermont who is interested in EVs. We look forward to sharing the latest information with you at 7 PM on Wednesday, May 20!
If you have any questions, please contact Duncan McDougall from Waterbury LEAP at duncan@clifonline.org
