SUMMARY:Introduction to Charging Smart: How Local Governments Can Foster Electric Vehicle Deployment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Be part of an introductory webinar on April 21\, 2026\, at 1:00 p.m. CT to learn about Energy Ready’s Charging Smart technical assistance and national designation program. The Great Plains Institute\, facilitator of Drive Electric Minnesota\, is a founding partner of Charging Smart. \nLocal jurisdictions play a critical role in shaping the policies\, processes\, and programs that support the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. By streamlining installation and permitting\, local governments can expand access to EV charging for residents\, businesses\, and visitors alike. \nThis session will provide an overview of the Charging Smart program and how it can support local EV readiness efforts. Attendees will hear from program staff at the Interstate Renewable Energy Council\, along with community spotlights and insights from a local government representative in a Charging Smart–designated community. \nLearn more and register via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Minneapolis Community Education "Owning an Electric Vehicle (Lake Harriet Upper)" Spring 2026 Class
DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking of buying an electric vehicle (EV)? Do you own an EV and have questions about how to use it? Are you thinking about taking your first EV road trip\, but feeling insecure? Electric vehicles use completely different technologies from gas-fueled vehicles. \nThis class covers what to consider when purchasing an EV\, how to charge for daily use\, how to use DC fast chargers\, and how to plan for road trips. In the first two-hour session\, the class will meet via Zoom. In the second session\, the class will meet at a DC fast charger location to provide hands-on experience in using them. Students will practice charging with the instructor’s two EVs (and any others in the class) before retiring to a coffee shop for Q&A. \nFirst session: May 4\, 6:30-8:30 p.m. via Zoom \nSecond session: May 11\, 6:30-8:30 p.m. in-person \nNote: You must enroll in the full course.
