Climate Connections: Navigating Missoula’s electric vehicle future – Upcoming Events

Electric vehicles seem to be everywhere these days—around town, online, in the news. While the vehicles that get the most publicity are often futuristic ones toting a high price tag, for many people, an electric vehicle can be a practical, affordable choice. With point-of-sale tax credits up to $7,500 and reduced fuel and maintenance costs, they can fit into a lot of budgets.

• On Saturday, September 28^th from 10a-2p, we’ll be hosting an “EV Ride & Drive” at the Climate and Clean Energy Expo in Caras Park. This event will be a great opportunity to learn more about electric vehicles, get some of your questions answered, and see some of the vehicles that are on the market today. (Plus, the Expo is a great way to learn more about other local climate solutions and get involved!)
• On Monday, September 30^th from 12-1:30p, we’ll be hosting an “EV Listening and Visioning Session” in Cooper Space B at the Missoula Public Library, as part of the community-wide Climate Solutions Week. This event will provide background about EV infrastructure planning work  and an opportunity for feedback.
