Cullman showcases future of driving with electric vehicle event

CULLMAN, AL (WBMA) — The city of Cullman hosted an electric vehicle showcase event Saturday morning.

The event, which ran from 9 am to 11 am, featured several EV’s including an all-electric 2024 Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck,a Ford F-150 Lightning, a Rivian and a Tesla Cybertruck.

The Event was sponsored by Drive Electric Alabama (DEA) and the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition (ACFC) . Both organizations work to establish advanced technology vehicles, and promote the use of clean renewable energy to improve the state, and create jobs within the state.

“The best way to learn about EVs is to talk to people who are driving them every day,” ACFC President Michael Staley said, “because EV owners offer their personal experience about the cost savings and performance of these vehicles. The Silverado EV is by far the best vehicle I’ve ever had, and I hope the tail-gating set-up will be a huge hit.”
