With electric vehicles becoming more and more popular, the city of Sault Ste. Marie, PUC Services and the Sault Climate Hub are hosting community EV showcase.
The event will give residents and business owners a chance to ask questions of EV owners, who will display their vehicles, including plug-in hybrids, and generally share their knowledge, according to a news release.
PUC has continually been electrifying their fleet and attendees will learn how EV chargers work and hear more about the home charger rental program. For the month of October those who sign up for the program will be entered into a draw to win a free EV charging station installation. By attending the showcase, participants will receive two chances to win. Local EV owners are welcome to sign up and be a part of the showcase.
