SmartNet Sustainability Showcase & EV Exhibition- EV Test Drives & Rides, and Advice
2024-10-05 10:00 - 16:00 | service-detail-7-3
Take a free test drive or ride in an electric vehicle with our friendly volunteers!

EV Experience is offering sales-free electric vehicle test drives to raise awareness of the benefits of electric vehicles. Why? For us, the biggest benefit is environmental as electric vehicles do not produce GHG emissions. However to drivers, EVs also offer other benefits including saving money on maintenance costs and gas, increased comfort and of course cleaner air. Plus, who hasn’t dreamed of waking up to a full tank every day?

Our test drive events are a great opportunity to talk to experienced and knowledgeable EV enthusiasts and to ask them all your questions. And of course, you will be able to drive or ride in an electric vehicle too!

Visit our EV Test Drive FAQ section for more information.

Book your test drive or ride!
