Tons of people stopped by to talk with EV experts, owners, and dealers about everything EVs. We had some level 2 chargers to check out, and answered lots of questions about the takeCHARGE Electric Vehicle Charging Network
There was an opening ceremony with some short speeches about the exciting future of EVs in Newfoundland and Labrador. We also gave away prizes just for being there! Someone walked away with a level 2 charger, and one lucky guest got a kids ride-on Tesla!
