A week of electric vehicle celebration is upon us, and we want to get you charged up about it!
September 8-16 is National Drive Electric Week, and Minnkota is marking the occasion by crossing the region to several special gatherings in its own 100% electric vehicle (EV). If you see the Minnkota Chevy Bolt on the road or at an event, snap a photo – safely – and post it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #ISeeTheEV for a chance to win $100 for the charitable cause of your choice!
Here’s what we have lined up (all events are free):
- Tuesday, Sept. 11 – Drive Electric Week Event, Beltrami Electric Cooperative in Bemidji (4-7 p.m.)
- Thursday, Sept. 13 – EV Tailgate Party, Cass County Electric Cooperative in Fargo (4-7 p.m.)
- Friday, Sept. 14 – Greenway Takeover Festival in Grand Forks (11 a.m.-11 p.m.)
- Sunday, Sept. 16 – Rydell Benefit Car & Bike Show in Grand Forks (11 a.m.-4 p.m.)
Plus, we’ll be out and about in communities in between, so keep an eye out for our blue and green machine wherever you are.
We’ll choose our winning #ISeeTheEV submission on creativity – have fun with it!
Here are a few guidelines:
- Photos will be judged Monday, Sept. 17.
- Submissions can be a standard photo or a selfie – do what works for you!
- The winner will be contacted through the social media platform’s direct messaging (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram).
- If there is no response within 24 hours, the next runner up will be informed, continuing until a connection is made.
- Minnkota Power Cooperative will coordinate the charitable donation to be given in the winner’s name or a name of their choice (Minnkota will use its discretion when approving donation recipients).
- Please photograph safely and obey all traffic laws.
That’s it! We can’t wait to see you during National Drive Electric Week!
