EVucation promotes electric vehicle (EV) adoption through classes in your community via your town, utility or workplace, as well as personal coaching via Zoom or phone.
We're an educational and coaching company with experience and expertise for providing classes, consultation, and personal coaching on EV adoption.
Our instructors have decades of experience driving and promoting electric cars.
In the classes we cover the benefits of EVs to the community and to drivers along with most everything one needs to know to successfully switch to an EV.
