Our team had a great time earlier this week with Forth and Black Hills Energy at the Rocky Ford Ride & Drive EV-ent! Over 50 people got behind the wheel to test drive an electric vehicle, and even more were able to experience EVs firsthand, asking questions about tax incentives, charging, and checking out the vehicles on showcase. Thank you to the Rocky Ford community for spending your Monday afternoon with us and making this event such a fun one! #RockyFord #Community #EVent #DriveElectric #DriveClean #Colorado #ElectricVehicle #RideAndDrive #FordLightning
