The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce recently c-sponsored the first-ever electric vehicle (EV) car show on Cape Cod. It was part of a larger effort to educate business leaders and consumers on emerging clean transportation technologies and the opportunities that they provide to businesses, employees, and customers.
“The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce co-hosted the clean car show to help businesses better understand what the EV-driving community wants and needs," said Chris Adams, Chief of Staff at the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. "We know that clean transportation is evolving rapidly and more businesses are investing in electric vehicles for the fuel cost savings, decreased maintenance needs, increased range of travel, talent recruitment, and environmental benefits, making this a great event to host for our region."
At the event, Cape Cod auto dealers showcased their electric and plug-in hybrid models and offered test drives of nine different EVs to the several hundred attendees. Private owners also brought an additional 22 EVs in 13 different makes and models.
