News Release

WARSAW — Kosciusko REMC will hold an Electric Vehicle Test Drive Experience event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22.

KREMC has invited its members to participate in the event at no cost. Members will be able to register on-site to test drive an EV around a designated route and learn more about EVs from employees and educational handouts.

This event will be held at the KREMC facility, 370 South CR 250E, Warsaw. Food will be available from the Crooked Barn Smoked BBQ food truck. KREMC members who test drive an EV at the event will receive a free meal from Crooked Barn’s food truck for themselves and any family members present.

To test drive an vehicle at KREMC’s event, members must be over 18 years old, have a valid driver’s license and sign a waiver. A representative from the organization providing the EV will be in the car during the test drive.

The purpose of KREMC’s EV event is to provide interested members with a chance to experience driving an EV without the pressure of purchasing one. Wabash Valley Power Alliance will provide their Tesla Model 3 as part of the test drive experience, and the Kerlin Motor Company is contributing a Ford Lightning Truck.

KREMC hopes to inform members objectively about the topic and its influence on home electric systems at this event. If the community responds positively, KREMC will consider making the event annual.
