Toronto, Ontario – Canadians across the country may have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle for free, as part of Plug’n Drive’s newly introduced MEET initiative.
MEET, the Mobile EV Education Trailer will be travelling the country, setting up at specific locations to provide Canadians with a hands-on experience with an electric vehicle (EV) through free test drives as well as a number of educational opportunities.
The program receives a portion of its funding from Natural Resources Canada as well as several OEMs and charging station developers.
“Our goal at Plug’n Drive is to break down the barriers to wide-scale EV adoption,” said Cara Clairman, CEO of Plug’n Drive. “The MEET takes EV education on the road to engage Canadians around the far-reaching benefits of electrified transportation.”
The MEET is currently set up at the IKEA at 2685 Iris Road in Ottawa, until Nov. 29. Other locations will be announced as the project continues.
The vehicles available for test-drives are all-electrics or plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and include the BMW 330e, Chevrolet Bolt, Ford Fusion Energi, Honda Clarity PHEV, Kia Niro, and Volvo XC60 T8.
