What is the MEET?

The MEET is a consumer engagement installation focused on EV education and awareness. The MEET is a perfect complement to any regional EV strategy or public outreach campaign. It features localized content about the benefits of driving electric and an EV test drive activity in some of the latest EV models from leading manufacturers. The MEET is staffed by EV ambassadors from the community who can speak to the electric driving lifestyle in a family-friendly, sales-free environment. We have two active MEETs – one traveling through Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes, and the other across BC, Alberta, and the Prairies.
