Are Electric Vehicles Really Better For The Environment?
Join Congregation Beth Adam for a presentation, discussion, and hands-on demonstration.
Sunday, November 6, 9:45-11:30 am (demonstration 11:30-12:00)
Automakers are investing billions in electric vehicles, and new incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act aim to accelerate the switch to EVs. So, why would you want to drive electric? What’s different about the driving and ownership experience? What are the challenges for range and charging? Most importantly, are EVs really better for the environment? We frequently hear concerns such as: mining minerals for EV batteries is terrible for the environment, the batteries might wear out and clog our landfills, EVs pollute via the electricity generated to power them, etc. Most of these objections carry a grain of truth. What are the merits, how can we mitigate concerns, and what would a future where we’ve moved to electric vehicles look like? Gary Heaton, president of Drive Electric Cincinnati, will address all this and more! Bring your own questions for a lively discussion.
Following the discussion, several models of electric vehicles will be available on-site for demonstration and test rides. Special thanks to Drive Electric Cincinnati and Beth Adam members and friends for making this possible.
