Alabama NewsCenter — Your electric vehicle questions answered

By Dennis Washington

Can electric vehicles save you money? Do they hold a charge long enough for me to get to work and back? What if I need a charge on a long trip?

Those questions and others were answered Wednesday evening in Auburn at an “Electric Vehicle Awareness Event” hosted by Auburn University. The university’s Office of Sustainability invited electric vehicle (EV) car owners as well as experts from Alabama Power, the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition and Energy Alabama to show off various EV models and answer questions.

“The future is electric,” said Mike Kensler, director of Auburn University’s Office of Sustainability. “There are a lot of people interested who haven’t even seen electrics, and certainly haven’t talked to somebody that owns one, so what a great opportunity to partner with other folks around the state and bring this kind of event here so people can actually interact with owners and get answers from people who actually drive these cars.”
