Charging Forward is visiting communities across British Columbia and the Yukon to help people learn more about electric vehicles and charging.
Our events offer hands-on opportunities to explore EVs, try charging, ask questions, and get practical, unbiased information about topics such as range, winter driving, charging and costs. Whether you’re considering an EV or simply curious, come talk with us and experience electric driving for yourself.
Upcoming Events
Whitehorse, Yukon – September 12
🎶 Live music. 🌭 Free hot dogs. 🚗 Free EV test drives. And free admission to the Yukon Transportation Museum!
Join us September 12 from 12–5 p.m. at the Yukon Transportation Museum for a free afternoon with live music from local favourite Kevin Barr, free hot dogs, and a chance to get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle.
