Drive Electric LI will plan educational campaigns on the basics and benefits of electric vehicles at local libraries, workplaces and major Long Island public events.
Electrify America has awarded a second $50,000 sponsorship to Drive Electric LI for brand-neutral electric vehicle education and outreach on Long Island through May 2024.
“Electrify America remains committed to advancing the education and adoption of zero-emission vehicles,” said Rhiannon Davis, Director of Government Affairs, Electrify America. “Drive Electric Long Island Coalition outreach is critical to our mission as it helps raise awareness of electric vehicles on Long Island”.
Drive Electric LI will plan to educate on the basics and benefits of electric vehicles through 1) electric vehicle showcases and 2) virtual and in-person “EV 101” events at local libraries, workplaces and major Long Island public events .
For the in-person demonstrations, EV owners bring their vehicles to “show and tell” why they decided to buy an EV and share their experiences as EV owners. Showcases include car dealerships that display vehicles available in the market so that residents can easily learn about the models available and which ones best suit their needs.
The goal is to have two EV 101 demonstrations per month and 12 demonstration events over the next year.
