Event Report

Electric Vehicle Ride-and-Drive: Vanderbilt Financial Group's Earth Week festivities concluded with an Electric Vehicle (EV) Ride-and-Drive as part of the City of Long Beach Earth Day event and in collaboration with the nationwide organization, Drive Electric Earth Week, and the Drive to Work NY initiative of CALStart. We had over 10 Electric Vehicles on display and available for a ride-alongs and test drives. Our offerings ranged across affordability to the most-technologically advanced to the luxurious. Owners and enthusiasts were on hand to discuss the benefits of having an electric vehicle and answer questions for those considering joining the EV movement! If you know our CEO Steve Distante, then you know how important driving fossil-free is to him (check out his Tesla fandom here: https://blog.joinvanderbilt.com/why-im-teslas-1-and/or-biggest-fan). We are so thankful to the EV community for joining us on a rainy day!
