You can try an electric car this summer in Oshawa

Published July 13, 2022 at 10:09 am

The high prices of gas are driving people to seek alternatives and a pop-up event in Oshawa could help you learn more about switching to an electric vehicle.

The event, called Plug’n Drive, is an information kiosk with EV ambassadors answering questions about electric cars. The interactive displays cover the environmental and economic benefits of driving electric.

There is also a chance, by appointment only, to test drive some of the latest EV models.

MEET Durham/Oshawa, presented by @oshawapower and @RegionofDurham, will be held from July 21 to August 14!

Meet our ambassadors, take a test drive and learn about #EVs in a sales-free, no-pressure environment. ⚡️

In addition, there will be an EV charging station showcase, and takeaway materials containing information about electric cars.

“After your visit, we’re confident you’ll understand why it’s time to electrify your ride,” the website notes.

Cars available for a test drive include the Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia Sorento PHEV, Hyundai Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge. Plug’n Drive is a non-profit organization promoting electric vehicles and is brand neutral. While the test drive cars on-site are limited, they support every EV make and model on the market.
