The NC Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) has launched a new website to promote widespread knowledge about alternative fuel vehicles, LearnAboutEVs.org. In collaboration with the North Carolina Outdoor Advertising Association, digital highway billboards attracting visitors to the website will run throughout March and April.

Currently, the website displays a list of educational electric vehicle (EV) events that take place across North Carolina. These events are open to the public and are aimed at increasing the accessibility of alternative fuel vehicles. Attendees may have the opportunity to drive, ride in, or observe innovative vehicles. Be sure to check out the events section to find events near you!

Additions will be made to the website in the near future. A list of resources will be available for visitors to learn more about EVs. Organizations that provide education about EVs will be highlighted, along with a resource that displays EVs available for purchase. Simple descriptions about how different charging levels work will be provided for Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast charging types.

Heather Brutz, Clean Transportation Program Manager at NCCETC, says, “We hope that this website is a useful resource for people who are interested in learning more about electric vehicles and who want to learn about upcoming events in North Carolina where they can talk to owners of electric vehicles and possibly test drive one.”

An email newsletter sign-up is available on the website for those interested in staying informed about NCCETC news and the energy industry. Subscribers will be provided with up-to-date information on policy, clean energy, alternative fuels, training courses, conferences, and outreach opportunities.

Visit LearnAboutEVs.org to learn more and subscribe to the newsletter. Don’t forget to check back in the coming months when more resources are released!
