That’s the message sent at a Wednesday, Nov. 13, event at Fairplex in Pomona, where these types of vehicles were displayed. Called the Zero-Emissions Showcase + Ride & Drive, it was co-hosted by the California Air Resources Board and CALSTART.

The demonstration was a chance for businesses to test drive zero-emissions vehicles, learn about their charging and explore funding incentives that might lead them to add the vehicles and equipment to their fleets, a news release states.

Also on display were heavy-duty trucks, transit buses, garbage trucks, delivery vans and tractors.
