Community
Awareness:
We have provided people the opportunity to see and learn about the Electric Vehicles
here at Topsail High School. We accomplished this by displaying our EVs at community
events, local schools, civic organizations, school sporting events, and at our sponsors'
businesses. By taking the vehicles around the community, we are able to recruit new
sponsors and raise awareness within the community.
Education:
Topsail High School not only educates people of the community about electric powered
vehicles, but we also try to get the community involved. A good example is the use that
our electric truck gives the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Department. We allow them to use
the truck as a learning tool to train firemen on how to best respond to an accident
involving an electric vehicle.
Services:
The solar charging station we use to charge our electric vehicles can also be used by
environmentally conscious people in the community who wish to charge their EV or even
their golf cart if they wish. We provide charging as a free service to area golfers
who frequent the area's five golf courses.
