For the second year there will be a National Drive Electric Week event in Prairie du Chien, WI. Anybody and everybody who is curious about EVs is welcome to attend this free event. Last year we had about 10 cars and about 40 people attend. Lets double that this year! Tell your neighbors, your friends, your relatives, even your pastor! Come down to the Prairie Cinema where we will display EVs for you to look at, sit in, and (depending on how comfortable the owner is) ride in or drive an EV for yourself. See how much fun instant torque is! Learn about the fuel savings, maintenance benefits, and how EVs are helping to save the planet by reducing carbon emissions by up to HALF over comparable gas powered cars.
