SUMMARY:Drive Electric KCK
DESCRIPTION:With over 40 kinds of electric cars and trucks on the market\, EVs aren’t the wave of the future – they are already here.\nJoin MEC on Friday\, October 4 from 11am-2pm at Kansas City Kansas Community College to explore the world of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids. This is NOT a sales event\, but an opportunity to get a feel for what owning an EV might be like and receive unbiased feedback from actual owners. You can even take their cars out for a spin (with a current driver’s license and insurance of course). We’ll have information on tax breaks\, how EV charging works\, prize drawings\, and more.  Orange EV will be at the event showcasing one of their all-electric\, heavy-duty yard trucks\, proudly manufactured in KCK. \nThe benefits of EVs extend beyond environmental impact. They offer economic advantages and contribute to better air quality – which every community should have the opportunity to experience firsthand. Plus\, EVs are simply fun to drive. \n\n\nThe followings vehicles and more will be at the event: Chevy Blazer EV\, Chevy Bolt\, Chevy EUV\, Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid\, Ford F-150 Lightning\, Ford Mach-E\, Hyundai Ioniq 6\, Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid\, Rivian R1S\, and Tesla Model Y.\nEvent produced in cooperation with:

SUMMARY:Powering the Future: All-Electric Terminal Trucks
DESCRIPTION:Boosting air quality in and around America’s busiest freight hubs\nTerminal trucks\, also known as spotters\, yard dogs\, or goats\, are used to move trailers within cargo and intermodal facilities. Low-speed\, high-power operations in terminal truck settings emit far more exhaust than diesel trucks running at highway speeds – which not only threatens surrounding communities\, but is also a health risk for workers on site. The impact on driver satisfaction and lower fuel and maintenance costs make all-electric terminal trucks an attractive business proposition while improving the air quality for the entire region. \nJoin MEC on Tuesday\, September 3 at 12pm CT for a webinar with our project partners who have led the charge in deploying all-electric terminal trucks in the Kansas City region and beyond. They will share their experiences and best practices for deployment\, the benefits of ditching diesel\, feedback from drivers\, and what has surprised them in their journey going electric. \n\nSpeakers: \n\nLazer Logistics\, a leading provider of yard management in North America\, will discuss their experience deploying electric terminal trucks.\nEvergy\, one of Kansas City’s electric utilities\, will share best practices for implementing charging infrastructure for off-road vehicles.\nOrange EV\, located in Kansas City\, KS\, was the first American company to commercially build\, deploy and service 100% electric Class-8 electric vehicles. They will share the typical payback period for their trucks and information regarding their rental and lease programs.

SUMMARY:Join MEC to Celebrate Energy Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:October is annually designated as National Energy Awareness Month. The U.S. Department of Energy (US DOE) participates annually with the intent to draw attention to our nation’s electrical grid system and “to highlight the importance of energy to our national prosperity and security.” As the US DOE states\, “Energy\, our most critical infrastructure\, is all but invisible to most\, but our focus on continued innovation protects American lives today and ensures better lives tomorrow.” \nThis year\, Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) will use this truth to draw attention to energy efficiency and how it relates to our infrastructure\, including our transportation systems and the built environment. There is indeed innovation happening on a national scale\, and it’s occurring quickly. MEC is either hosting\, co-hosting\, or cross-promoting a number of in-person and virtual events this October to highlight all the ways our nation can modernize the way it uses energy to create a prosperous future for our youth and future generations. Click the links below to learn more about each event and how to participate (more links to come as the suite of events is finalized). \nWhether an industry professional or policy maker or technician or a member of the general public\, we have at least one event for you. Join us and our members\, volunteers and friends during Energy Awareness Month. We’ll celebrate recent achievements and foster accelerated adoptions of energy conservation\, renewables and cleaner fuels. \nEnergy Awareness 2021 Event List: \n\n\n\nNative Plant Sale & Drive Electric Week Event at Project Living Proof with Master Gardeners of Greater Kansas City\nSept. 25\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: South Park in Lawrence\nSept 25\n\n\nLion Electric School Bus Ride and Drive: Lee’s Summit Schools\nSept 28\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: Driving Electric: Black & Veatch EV Drivers Tell All (Virtual)\nSept 29\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: Prairie Village Presbyterian Church\nSept 29\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: Independence Chamber of Commerce    CANCELED\nOct. 2\n\n\nNational Drive Electric Week: ICT (Wichita Towne East Square)\nOct. 2\n\n\nNational Energy Efficiency Day (Ask Emily for a model Proclamation for your city\, business or organization)\nOct. 6\n\n\nMarquee Event: Our Best Buildings Yet: A Forum on Energy Efficiency in the Kansas City Region and Beyond\nOct. 7\n\n\nVirtual Workshop on Diesel Emissions Reduction Funding Opportunities: Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative\nOct. 12-14\n\n\nWebinar: EV Fleet Trends: Advice from the Experts (hosted by Louisiana Clean Fuels Coalition)\nOct. 13\n\n\nMarquee Event Day of EVs (In-Person): Exploring EVs in Municipal Fleets with City of Olathe\, Indian Creek Library in Olathe\, KS\nOct. 19\n\n\nMarquee Event Day of EVs (Virtual): Electrifying Terminal Trucks: Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Deployments in the Kansas City Region and Beyond\nOct. 19\n\n\nOur Energy Horizon: A Solar\, Storage\, Electric Vehicle & Transmission Event\, Thompson Barn in Lenexa\, KS (hosted by Clean Energy Business Council)\nOct. 25\n\n\nWeatherization Day 2021\nOct. 30
