Plug-in Wrangell: Advantages of electric vehicles (EVs) in small communities

Southeast Alaskan electrical vehicle owners are hosting a one-hour knowledge sharing session outlining the economic and environmental advantages of EV ownership, including saving money, supporting the local

economy, and reducing CO2 emissions.

There are now several hundred EVs in both Sitka and Juneau. The fundamental advantages of EV ownership that exist in Sitka and Juneau also exist in other locations, as the presentation will outline. After the presentation, there will be a Q&A session for attendees to ask questions of the presenters.

The presentation will be made by Devon Kibby, of Juneau and the Alaska Electric Vehicle Association, and Brant Brantman of Sitka Rainpower Project. Tor Benson and Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins are organizing and hosting.

The online presentation will be Nov. 9 at 7 p.m.

To RSVP for the presentation, email kevin.mcgowan@akleg.gov, and presentation information will be shared. For questions, call 907-465-3732.
