Recently, the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA), in partnership with Plug’n Drive, was pleased to unveil Canada’s first-ever Electric Vehicle Dealership Awards program for Canadian car dealerships.
The announcement was made during the electric vehicle industry awards ceremony at the EV 2013 VÉ Electric Vehicles Conference and Trade Show in Gatineau, Que., Canada’s biggest electric vehicle event hosted annually by Electric Mobility Canada.
“It is important to celebrate successes and spotlight leaders and contributors as we all work together to electrify transportation in Canada,” remarked Jim Burpee, president and CEO of the Canadian Electricity Association. “Our members and partners look forward to recognizing Canada’s leading electric vehicle dealerships when we present the new awards for the first time in 2014.”
Cara Clairman, president and CEO at Plug’n Drive added that “Plug’n Drive works hard at accelerating EV adoption through education and infrastructure initiatives because we understand the wide-ranging benefits that the electrification of transportation can bring to all Canadians. We know selling EVs can be challenging, so we want to recognize those EV dealers across the country that are doing an amazing job, celebrate their success and try to replicate it.”
The Canadian Electric Vehicle Dealership Awards Program is a joint initiative between the Canadian Electricity Association and Plug’n Drive.
