Electric vehicle drivers and all interested local residents are invited to attend the Drive Electric Event on Saturday, September 24th at Franklin Pierce University, Rindge, NH from 12-4 pm to see the clean-air benefits, cost-savings and fun provided by electric cars. Electric vehicle owners will be on hand to answer questions and may offer rides and test drives. A few electric bikes may be on hand, too. Any EV or EBike owners planning to attend, please contact us in advance at President@MonadnockSustainabilityHub.org
This event is one of hundreds of Drive E events across the country, as part of National Drive Electric week. Electric vehicle owners, government and community leaders are holding electric car parades, “tailpipe-free” tailgate parties, ride-and-drives, and other public events to celebrate electric vehicles. For the local event, Monadnock Sustainability Hub is collaborating with Franklin Pierce University and the National Drive Electric organizers: Plug In America, the national Sierra Club, and the Electric Auto Association.
“MSH has held at least one Drive E event a year in the Monadnock region since 2018, with virtual events during the pandemic including production of a short video. This will be our 3rd Drive E event this year, a new high for us” reports John Kondos, MSH board member and EV owner.
