Electric Vehicles are increasing in popularity and are a good choice for those who need personal transportation. This presentation will cover the basics of EV ownership including charging, long distance travel and performance in hot and cold weather. We will also dispel some common myths that are circulated in mainstream and social media. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session that will allow you plenty of opportunity to ask any follow-up questions.

Raymond Leury has always been interested in science & environmental issues. Eleven years ago, he bought his first EV, which led him to become a member of the Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa (EVCO) of which he is now president. His interest in environmental issues was rekindled when he attended Al Gore’s Climate Reality Corps in 2017. Now retired from a long IT career, Raymond pursues his passion by spending much of his time researching and advocating for EVs and climate change solutions.

Admission is free, refreshments will be served and people of all ages are invited to attend.
