What questions do you have about electric cars? The EV 101 webinar is just one of the events looking to provide answers, this National Drive Electric Week.
"We'll be describing the benefits of electric vehicles over gas powered cars, slamming the complexities of easy charging and breaking down incentives and rebates that are available to help make the purchasing process more affordable," explained Sean McArthur, the Energy and Transportation Associate at The Community Environmental Council in Santa Barbara. There's a series of free community events across the region, including the webinar and opportunities to test drive an electric vehicle.
"A ride or a drive of these vehicles is a game changer for a lot of people for making that switch," said McArthur.
The Webinar: Breaking Up With Fossil Fuels, Electric Vehicles Are For Everyone (EV101) is on September 21, from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. Details & registration here: https://cecsb.org/events/electric-vehicles-evs-are-for-everyone-vehculos-elctricos-ve-para-todos
