SUMMARY:Electric Car Test Drives
DESCRIPTION:Gas prices got you down?  \nOf course\, we’d prefer that you take active transportation or public transit. But if you’re still looking for an excellent alternative\, how about an electric vehicle (EV)? \neMERGE 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 \nTest 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. \nTo register your spot for the EV101 Seminar and test drive click on the links below. \neMERGE EV 101 \nRegister for 11:00am – noon \nRegister for 1:00pm – 2:00pm \nRegister for 3:00pm – 4:00pm \n  \nElectric Car Test Drives (registration only on site) \n10:00am – 5:00pm  \nSunday\, June 5th\, 2022 \n42 Carden St Guelph.  \n  \nUp to 8\,000 new vehicles are sold in Guelph each year\, while very few are electric. Every EV that’s purchased (instead of a gas or diesel vehicle) reduces greenhouse gas emissions by over 3 tonnes per year. That’s massive. \nAll of this will help you understand:\n\nThe financial and environmental benefits of Electric Vehicles (EVs)\nKey considerations when purchasing an EV\nUnderstanding EV charging public and private\nLessons learned through case study examination\nHow Plug’n Drive’s Used EV and Scrappage Program works\n\nThere are two different EV rebates available: \n\nUp to $2\,000 Used EV Rebate from Plugn’Drive        \nUp to $5\,000 New EV Rebate from the federal government \n\n  \nCome downtown and check out different EV models\, chat with EV owners. Bring your questions about buying\, driving\, and owning an electric car.   \nCheck out this blog: Guelph buying gas- guzzlers at alarming rate \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“WHY IS eMERGE PUSHING FOR EVs?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n \n  \nThere are many ways to fight climate change. \nBut when it comes to transportation planning our approach at eMERGE is quite clear. Society has to take an approach that prioritizes 1) walking and then 2) cycling followed by 3) electrified public transit and finally 4) electrified personal transportation (cars). \n————————————————- \neMERGE EV Curious Event: \n          June 5th 2022 10am – 5pm \n          Free Test Drives: June 5th- 10 am to 5pm \n          EV 101 Sessions June 5th 11am\, 1pm\, 3pm \n———— \nContact: \n Evan Ferrari\, Executive Director \n519-763-2652 \nevan@emergeguelph.ca \n42 Carden St Guelph  \n  \n—————– \nBackground \n  \nAbout Plug ‘N’ Drive \nPlug’n Drive is a non-profit organization committed to accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles to maximize their environmental and economic benefits. \n———————– \nThis event is sponsored by
