It’s more practical than you think to switch away from gas. The more you know\, the more you’ll want one! \nFUN FACT: It is cheaper to drive a mile on electricity than it is to drive a mile on gasoline and electricity prices are much less volatile than gas prices. Though your electricity costs will go up if you’re charging your EV at home\, your gas costs will go down by more. \n Come “pet” some of the latest Electric Vehicle models with experts on hand to answer your questions about models\, charging\, range\, maintenance\, and incentives!  Chat with owners about their EV experience!
