Have your first electrifying driving experience this weekend at Yonge and Dundas square in Toronto
By Rebecca Spring, Manager, Sustainable Transportation, WWF
While electric cars are new, they aren’t quite the car of the future. From SUV to sports cars, there are electric models on the road for you to try out – and if you live near Toronto, you can give them a test this weekend!
A few weeks ago, our office was buzzing when WWF staff had the chance to try out an electric car (the i-MiEV in the picture). Drivers, passengers and passer-byes alike were excited to have their first electrifying experience.
For those who live near Toronto, you have a great opportunity to have your first electric experience this weekend – on Sunday, August 12 – at Yonge and Dundas Square (https://www.ydsquare.ca/web/). Hosted by Plug’nDrive (www.plugndriveontario.ca), EV DAY will let you test drive:
- Fisker Karma (Justin Bieber has one!) https://www.fiskerautomotive.com/en-us/karma/overview
- Mitsubishi i-MiEV https://www.mitsubishi-motors.ca/en/vehicles/i-miev/2012/trims/standard/
- Chevrolet Volt https://www.chevrolet.com/volt-electric-car.html
