Plug-in vehicles from local automobile dealers will be available for test rides and drives. RMLD customers with EVs will be in attendance to offer insider reviews and commentary.

Dozens of Massachusetts electric vehicle drivers, local dealers and enthusiasts will showcase electric vehicles to highlight the fun, clean-air benefits, and cost-savings of electric cars during the week of September 10-18, 2016.
