The ABC of Electric Vehicles

Explore how you can accelerate to a clean energy future!

Whether you’re EV-curious or actively looking to switch to an electric vehicle, we’ll challenge common preconceived notions about owning an EV.

We will look at charging, driving range, reducing range anxiety, EV costs and much more.

We’ll show you how changing to an EV is a bit like transitioning from a landline to a smartphone, the benefits are that good (especially if you have rooftop solar).

We’ll have a couple of zero emission vehicles on site so you can see what’s involved in charging them at the Leopold Library.

When: Saturday 22 October 11:00am-12:15pm
Where: Leopold Library, 31-39 Kensington Road, Leopold
Cost: $5
