The ACT Branch of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association presents this hands-on course for new and prospective EV owners. The course provides a basic introduction to owning, driving and charging an EV. This online session is free to all. The Zoom meeting link will be emailed to you a few days before the workshop.
If you would prefer to attend in-person, the next in-person workshop is 20 September. You can register here for that workshop.
Course outline
The usual "hands-on charging experience” can't happen online, of course, but we may organise to meet at a charger at another time to see exactly how to fast charge an EV.
