Members of the North Alabama Chapter of Drive Electric Alabama will display a wide variety of electric vehicles during Saturday’s “Frunk or Treat” event in Huntsville.

The EV owners will be available to talk one-on-one with anyone interested in learning more about EVs while also giving out candy in the Halloween-themed event. Visitors can also participate in voting to select the best decorated car.

The Frunk or Treat will take place in Huntsville on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 5 to 8 p.m. The event site will be at GigaParts, Inc., located at 6123 University Dr, Huntsville, AL 35806. This event is free and open to the public.

“The very best way to learn about EVs is to talk to someone who drives one every day,” said Casey Foster, executive director of the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition, which helped coordinate Saturday’s EVent. “EV owners can separate fact from fiction, because they can tell you about the convenience and costs savings associated with driving an EV. Plus, at Saturday’s event, you can bring your kids and let them enjoy some early trick-or-treating.”
