Drive Electric Minnesota hosted the first Ride & Drive event in Ely as part of the Winterfest weekend. We drove up to the north woods to share our ownership experience, check out the new charging at the Dairy Queen, talk to local owners about living in Ely with an EV, and visit the International Wolf Center. A beautiful February weekend road trip adventure!
For more on the Wolf Center and other things to do in the area, check out the @plugandplayEV video from their summer road trip:
