EV Ride and Drive Event at Otero College on April 14

In partnership with 4CORE (Four Corners Office for Resource Efficiency), science faculty member, Dr. Allan Nolan and Otero College will be hosting the EV Ride and Drive event on Friday, April 14 from 2 – 6 p.m. at the parking lot to the north of the McDivitt Center Gymnasium. All are welcome to attend and learn more about Electric Vehicles (EVs).

At this event, there will be multiple electric vehicles on display in the parking lot to allow anyone who is interested in learning about EVs to see them in person and ask 4CORE and EV owners questions. EV owners in La Junta and surrounding towns (Trinidad, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, etc.) will be invited to bring their vehicles, so there should be a wide variety of automobiles to examine. 4CORE will have a booth set up in the parking lot as a hub for questions.

4CORE serves Southwest Colorado by promoting resource conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy through education and programs that strengthen the local economy and foster a healthy, sustainable environment. They have partnered with Dr. Allan Nolan, who is an EV owner himself, to share their message with the campus and the community to bring awareness and answer questions.

According to Dr. Nolan, “This is a great opportunity to learn more about EVs and see them firsthand while getting questions answered in real time by actual owners. We are excited to host this event and help spark interest in EV ownership.”
