Drive Electric Earth Month
EV Day at McIntosh County Middle School
Darien, GA
Apr 22, 2024

Event Report

Thanks to all our volunteers for their support and generosity in giving their time, expertise, and vehicles to create a one-of-a-kind learning opportunity. 

Special thanks to Giff Beaton who loaned is cool Rivian truck for the event and to Eric Tucker at Monumental Ford of Darien who turned over the keys to the brand new F150 Lightning and let me serve coffee from the frunk.

We talked with about one hundred 6th grade students in three different groups through a presentation and Q&A session conducted by Alan Shedd followed by viewing a variety of EVs.  Interaction with the students by EV driver / owners made the event come to life for this next generation of EV drivers.

Thanks to Mr. Brooker, Mr. Hutcheson, and the entire MCMS team for providing the venue – it worked well.  We appreciated the opportunity to share a little of our passion for electric transportation.
