Clear the Road Ahead: Demystify Electrics at the EV Test Track
Going Green
Start by chatting with our environmental experts to learn why EVs are good for the planet and your wallet. They’ll share simple tips for eco-friendly driving, like regenerative braking that turns energy back into power for your EV. Imagine how using regenerative braking in stop-and-go traffic can boost your EV’s efficiency and reduce wear on brakes.
Range Reassurance
Get behind the wheel of different EV models on our track to see their impressive range capabilities. Experience the excitement of covering substantial distances on a single charge, such as over 200 miles in popular EV models. Our instructors will show you how to drive efficiently, pointing out how maintaining a steady speed and avoiding rapid acceleration can help maximize your EV’s range.
Charging Made Easy
Charging an EV can be confusing, but we’ll make it simple. You’ll receive a map of local charging stations and learn how to plan routes that make charging convenient. Picture yourself heading out for a weekend trip, knowing exactly where to stop for a quick charge at your favorite coffee shop while you relax and sip your latte.
Quick & Convenient Charging
Discover fast-charging options that make topping up your EV’s battery a breeze. Imagine taking a short break at a rest area during a road trip and having your EV charge up to 80% capacity in just 30 minutes (please note that charging times can vary based on factors like the charging station’s power output and your EV’s battery capacity). We’ll share tips for planning charging stops during longer trips, so you spend less time waiting and more time on the road.
Enjoy the Drive
Experience the pleasure of driving an EV on our track. Professional drivers will show you how smooth and enjoyable it can be. Feel the instant torque as you accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds in an electric sports car. Plus, they’ll explain how to use different driving modes and features, like one-pedal driving that simplifies your driving experience by using regenerative braking to slow down and stop your EV without using the brake pedal.
Choosing Your EV
Explore various EV models and chat with our EV advisors to find one that suits your needs. Take a seat in the spacious interior of an electric SUV and see how it accommodates your family’s needs comfortably. We’ll also explain the incentives and financing options available to you, like federal tax credits that can save you up to $7,500 on your EV purchase.
Budget-Friendly Driving
Wondering about the costs? Use our cost comparison tool to get an estimate of how much you could save with an EV (please note that exact savings can vary based on factors like electricity rates, gasoline prices, and individual driving habits). Visualize the potential savings as you compare the cost of driving 100 miles in an electric vehicle versus a gasoline car. We’ll also break down local incentives and rebates, such as utility company rebates for home chargers, to help you make a smart financial choice.
Easy Maintenance
Keeping an EV in great shape is straightforward. We’ll give you a simple checklist and schedule for regular maintenance, significantly reducing the need for costly and frequent visits to the mechanic.
Transitioning with Confidence
Finish up with our EV transition workshop, where you’ll get a personalized plan. You’ll learn how to find charging stations near your home, understand your EV’s manual, and handle routine maintenance, such as checking and topping up your tire pressure to ensure optimal efficiency.
