    Sign up for a webinar on EVs on April 26 from 12 - 1 PM ET

    Tired of paying $4 or even $5 per gallon at the pump? There has never been a better time to switch to an electric vehicle (EV) and never have to stop for gas again!  “A Guide to Your Electric Vehicle Future” will cover:
    • EV technology, including vehicle charging at home and on the road
    • Current and future EV offerings on the market including range and MPGe efficiency
    • Cost of ownership calculations including incentives, maintenance costs, and charging costs
    • Misconceptions and myths about EVs
    • Doubling-down on decarbonization with home solar

    Scott Thompson, PE, ENV SP is WSP’s Energy market lead for Onshore Renewables and has been driving EVs for over 10 years.  He has presented this on topic dozens of times to academia, businesses, and governments, including the United Nations. As a volunteer in his hometown of Fairfield, CT, Scott has led the organization of the largest electric vehicle exhibition in the northeastern US.
