While the percent of EVs on roads today is small, over the coming years they will become ubiquitous. In the process, millions of consumers will be introduced to EVs through their first test drive. The quality of that experience is crucial in speeding the transition to driving electric.<\/p>\n<p>A new array of partnerships with auto companies is growing to help facilitate that first EV introduction. States and utilities can play a crucial role in organizing brand-neutral first drive experiences. In this webinar, Plug In America spotlights two particularly powerful model test drive partnerships: the state of Massachusetts with its MASS DRIVE CLEAN campaign, now in its third year, and San Diego Gas &amp; Electric\u2019s workplace driving campaign, along with their regional partnership on the 5th Annual National Drive Electric Week\u2019s EV Day San Diego. These campaigns host some of the largest EV test drive experiences in the world; they have assembled consumer feedback data over multiple years and from disparate geographies that speak to the power and potential for well-crafted first drive experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In this webinar, Plug In America, REACH Strategies, and representatives from Massachusetts and San Diego Gas &amp; Electric will discuss:<br \/>\n\u2022 How to create a powerful first EV driving experience<br \/>\n\u2022 Lessons learned from leading campaigns<br \/>\n\u2022 The role of highlighting consumer incentives and infrastructure education in first drive outreach<br \/>\n\u2022 The importance of survey work to track consumer attitudes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moderator:<\/strong> Katherine Stainken, Policy Director, Plug In America<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><br \/>\nKirk Brown, CEO, REACH Strategies<br \/>\nApril Bolduc, EV Customer Engagement Manager, San Diego Gas &amp; Electric<br \/>\nLinda Benevides, Director, Green Business Development, MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/attendee.gotowebinar.com\/register\/8763520375795368706\">Sign up for the webinar now, then join us\u00a0Tuesday, October 17 12:00 p.m. &#8211; 12:45 p.m. EST (9:00 a.m. &#8211; 9:45 a.m. PST).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plug In America Webinar The First EV Drive &#8211; Generating Maximum Impact Register now: it&#8217;s free.
