In the eastern panhandle, near Martinsburg, our fifth annual NDEW event was a great success and you couldn't have asked for better weather! The Black Dog Coffee Company was a great site host again this year and everyone enjoyed having access to great coffee! We had attendees of all ages interested in EVs and talking with owners and attendees from West Virginia and surrounding states. We had ten EVs present including vehicles from Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, VW, and a Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup. Many attendees commented how grateful they were to have a local event in West Virginia to speak with owners, take a demo ride, and appreciated the NDEW giveaway bags. Special thanks to Kent Parsons Ford in Martinsburg, WV for providing the F-150 Lightning electric truck for display!

At our South Charleston NDEW event, we had eleven electric vehicles including a Rivian and a Lucid. Several people stopped by to check out the vehicles and talk with the experts from the West Virginia Electric Auto Association and Appalachian Power, which unveiled its new Off-Peak Charging Rate. This rate can save EV drivers about 25% when they charge overnight, between 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM, Monday through Friday and any time on weekends and major holidays. A special thanks to the staff from Appalachian Power for joining us this year and to all the owners who showed their unique, electric rides!
