YTCC was awarded a grant from Teton Conservation District to offer the Electric Vehicle (EV) Experience program, allowing those who live and work in Teton County to test-drive an electric vehicle to learn about the technology and determine if it fits their needs. YTCC offered a Chevrolet Bolt through this program for 3 years in partnership with Lower Valley Energy to host the program and Energy Conservation Works to help support program marketing efforts. The 2nd iteration of this program will be launched on Earth Day with a F-150 Lightning.
Stay tuned for updates and how to sign-up for Round 2 of the Electric Vehicle Experience.
Whether you are considering an EV purchase, are interested in finding out why EV’s are predicted to be the car of the future, or are curious about how just plain fun an EV is to drive, you are invited to take advantage of our “EV Experience.”
