Why World EV Day matters
World EV Day, celebrated annually on the 9th of September since 2020, is a global platform to promote and celebrate the benefits of electric vehicles. It's an initiative aimed at raising awareness about the role of EVs in reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality, ultimately contributing to a sustainable future.
