EV Test Drive Guide

An EV test drive with a local owner is the best way for people to get a realistic view of how an electric vehicle fits into their lifestyle. I’ve personally seen multiple occasions where a prospective EV owner meets with an EV owner, goes for a test drive, and gets their very own EV within the next week.

Sign up be a resources to the next wave of EV owners and allow them take a test drive and talk with a current EV owner.
