Charged Up'21 - Destroying a polluting car
The day before the Charged Up’21 event to mark World Electric Vehicle Day, a symbolic initiative was conceived and implemented. A convoy of electric cars escorted a 14-year-old and polluting car for disposal. This action was to remind people about the support provided by the Environmental Project Management Agency (EPA ) for the purchase of less polluting vehicles.
