SEPTEMBER SUSTAINABILITY SERIES: ELECTRIC VEHICLES |
|
The September Sustainability Series will focus on electric vehicles (EVs) including FAQs, a charging station locator, and a quiz to help you pick the best vehicle for you! EVs are increasingly popular and while the market for EVs is still small, it is growing rapidly and this trend is projected to continue. The use of EVs instead of internal combustion engine vehicles helps improve air quality, fight climate change, reduce noise, and foster green economic development, among other benefits.
