X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><b>Register to attend this program at the 
 Painswick Branch in person.</b></p>\n<hr />\n<p>This program will not be r
 ecorded\, please plan to attend in person or virtually on the day of the e
 vent.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Electric cars took a back seat as gas vehicles and ro
 ad infrastructure improved. This has been changing over the last decade wi
 th huge public and private investment in electric vehicle development\, dr
 iven by increasing fuel costs and government mandates around the world to 
 curb greenhouse emissions. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug in Hyb
 rid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) built today are more efficient then their 189
 0 ancestors and have finally become a practical alternative to gas and die
 sel vehicles. This presentation strives to inform the consumer considering
  the switch to electric about the practical side of EV ownership\; buying\
 , charging\, and maintaining your EV to achieve the benefits of making an 
 EV or PHEV your next car purchase.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img src="https://barri
