This gathering is designed for those interested in transitioning to electric vehicles. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore various electric vehicle options and learn about the latest advancements in electric mobility.

Daniel Lowry, media relations manager and spokesperson for LG&E and Kentucky Utilities, emphasizes the significant benefits of adopting electric vehicles. “Going electric not only reduces carbon emissions but also lowers fuel and maintenance costs, making it an economically sound choice for many families,” he stated.

In addition to test drives, the event will offer informational resources to help potential buyers make informed decisions about electric vehicle ownership. Participants can also inquire about charging stations and the infrastructure supporting electric vehicles in the Lexington area.
