It’s ELECTRIC! EVs, Smart Thermostats, Home Insulation, and MORE!
Join us for a re-imagining of our postponed EV Petting Zoo! Yes, we will still have electric vehicles, but the Sustainability Office will also bring in the Eversource Energy Efficiency Experience. Find out about all the actions you can take to make your home more energy efficient, from affordable low maintenance EVs (no more gas pumps!) and money-saving home insulation to “connected solutions” such as smart thermostats that help keep down costs during severe heat. Plus, learn about the appliances that create healthier indoor and outdoor environments, such as induction stoves and electric leaf blowers. Information will be available on all the Massachusetts and Mass Save rebates for the new technology. Make your driving a zero emissions, high performance, and more affordable experience! Address the energy leaks in your living space, introduce more efficient heating and cooling, and reduce emissions.
Are you an EV driver? Please register or just drop by to share your experience! Are you thinking about an EV? Please come and chat with us. EV drivers LOVE to share the INs and OUTs of their cars. We hope to have a good variety of vehicles—passenger models from Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Subaru, Kia, Hyundai, and more, plus electric vehicles purchased by the Town of Acton.
Snacks and beverages will be provided.

One Michigan car aficionado and EV driver, Jamie Racklyeft, wrote earlier this year, “I’m on my fourth EV now and I’m not going back: A 2025 international survey of 27,000+ EV drivers found 93% would choose another battery-electric EV, while only 1% would return to gas or diesel. . . So yes, 2026 may feel quieter than the hype years. But quieter isn’t weaker. It’s steadier. And steadiness is how lasting change actually takes hold.”
Thank you so much for your interest and expertise!
