The speakers and attendees gathered at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel were a mix of electric utility representatives, governmental staff and elected officials from the state, county and city level, businesses and economic development organizations, fleet managers, university educators and students, and EV owners and sustainability advocates.
The great thing about working on electric vehicles is that it brings so many different people and interests together. EVs can be a win for the environment, a win for electric utilities, a win for cleaner air, a win for building out business and tourism infrastructure, and less maintenance for fleet owners. And they are super fun to drive on top of that!
After an afternoon of speakers and presentations, attendees went outside to check out nearly a dozen electric cars (and even an electric bike!). A special thanks to all the EV drivers from North Dakota and Minnesota who made the day special!
Kaylee Cusack with Minnkota Power Cooperative wrote about her experience at the event, as well as her drive!
