Westfield To Hold Virtual Electric Car Forum; Dealership Coming

WESTFIELD, NJ — An Electric Vehicle dealership is coming to Westfield in the coming months, and the town will hold a Facebook live session Monday morning with Volta charging to demonstrate new charging stations in town.

The mayor noted in an update on Friday, "Join me on Monday, July 12, at 11:30 a.m. for a Facebook Live session with our partners at Volta Charging, as we demonstrate one of the six new EV charging stations that have been installed at no cost to the town."

She noted, "These stations provide residents, local employees, and visitors with the ability to charge their EV vehicles for free, and also demonstrates one of the ways we are leaning into the green economy to help drive our post-COVID economic recovery."

In addition to Volta, the mayor will be joined by DWC Executive Director Bob Zuckerman and Kevin Flanagan of the new Karma EV Dealership that will open on North Avenue in the coming months.

The company shows off its 2020 Karma Revero GT car, which it says is now available at the dealership, on the Karma of Westfield Facebook page here.
