Join us!
[Thank you Park Hunter and La Crosse Interfaith Leaders for hosting this event about EVs and the climate crisis on Wednesday, April 20 at noon at the English Lutheran Church, 16th and King Streets in La Crosse!]
This event will be IN-PERSON ONLY!
Three
local electric vehicle owners will talk about why electric vehicles
(EVs) are better for family budgets, for cities, and for the planet.
From e-bikes to e-trucks, buses, and delivery vehicles, EVs can help us
cut our carbon emissions and reduce our dependence on the
environmentally harmful fossil fuel industry. We'll explode some myths
(you do NOT have to be rich to own an EV!), talk about current and
coming EV options, and answer your questions. Several EVs will be on
display after the program.
