Did you know
transportation is the number one contributor to greenhouse gas pollution in New
Jersey? We invite the public to learn about an alternative to traditional
gasoline vehicles by attending Atlantic County Utilities Authority’s (ACUA) 5th
Annual Drive Electric Celebration on Thursday, September 19, 2019, from 4 to 7
p.m. at the ACUA Environmental Park on Delilah Road in Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
Curious residents, car enthusiasts, business
owners and all members of the public are invited to attend.
Speakers from the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Stockton University and Pepco Holdings, Inc.
will discuss the latest incentives, research and benefits for purchasing
electric vehicles or installing charging stations.
The latest available vehicle models as well as
electric motorcycles, bicycles, golf carts, scooters and UTVs will be on
display.
“ACUA has been utilizing electric and hybrid
vehicles in our fleet for many years, and this event allows us to share what
we’ve learned with the public,” said ACUA President Rick Dovey. “By bringing
together state leaders, dealerships and real-world users together at one event,
