Electric Vehicle Ride and Drive at the Show
Ocean State Clean Cities in partnership with Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources, Rhode Island Department of Transportation, and Rhode Island Department of Health are hosting an electric vehicle ride and drive at the 2018 Ocean State Construction and Equipment Show. This electric vehicle showcase aims to heighten awareness of Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) availability and benefits in the state of Rhode Island for public and private fleets.
This fleet ride and drive will be a great opportunity to showcase plug-in vehicles and allow municipal fleets to learn more about the technology and experience what it is like to drive an electric vehicle first hand. Rhode Island offers incentives for municipalities and public fleets to purchase charging stations and electric vehicles. RI Office of Energy Resources - Charge Up!
