As a push to educate Northeast Florida on the value of electric vehicles, JEA hosted a ride-and-drive event Saturday afternoon.
The free event at the University of North Florida was created to educate people about electric vehicles while promoting initiatives that improve air quality in Northeast Florida.
JEA Electrification Manager Dave McKee said the event had an amazing turnout with at least 500 people pre-registering and well over that amount showing up. Mike LaBrie said he’s a new electric vehicle owner and has already made two road trips from South Florida, including today. Although electric vehicles can have a higher upfront cost, McKee said there are some better pay-offs down the line.
