In recognition of National Drive Electric Week, FEC will host a Virtual EV Day on October 1. Here’s your chance to hear from and ask questions to local EV experts and owners on our virtual panel. We’ll share 3 unique perspectives on electric vehicles (ownership and logistics) in NW Montana. Plus, two lucky attendees will win a $200 electric bill credit and get to take home one of our EVs to drive for two weeks!*

*In order to win either of the prizes, attendees must be participating in the live event and be members of Flathead Electric Cooperative. To drive the electric vehicle the winner must also have a valid driver’s license, proof of auto insurance and be 21 or over.
