eMERGE Guelph is hosting EV test drives and EV101 classes (registration required) that make you eligible for up to $2,000 used EV rebates and $5,000 in new EV rebates. All this for free with our friends from PlugnDrive and Alectra/Guelph Hydro
Test drive one of three EVs on site and attend an EV 101 seminar. This one hour short course looks at everything you need to know to buy an EV, new or used. Taking part in both a test drive and EV 101 class will also make you eligible for up to a $2,000 in used EV rebates from PlugnDrive.
