For many, lifestyle and accessibility are a large concern surrounding electric vehicles. Gempp said people are much more comfortable with hybrid vehicles than fully electric models.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of people in Philadelphia don\u2019t have a garage. A lot of people in Philadelphia may not even know where they\u2019re parking every night. It\u2019s very difficult to own a pure electric vehicle in those kinds of circumstances,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The \u201ce-Tracks,\u201d which allow attendees to test-drive a variety of electric and hybrid models, have begun to change minds about the electrification of vehicles. According to Gempp, those who took a ride on the tracks last year stated they would be 25% more likely to purchase an electric vehicle.<\/p>\n
Despite these concerns, the show dates back over a century and remains an exciting opportunity for residents to see the newest car models, test-drive a luxury vehicle or tackle an obstacle course in a sturdy Jeep. For Mike Gempp, the show is also a way of serving the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so many options out there. Find what\u2019s important to you, and you will find the technology, the ride, the look and the feel that fits you. And you\u2019ll feel great about it when you\u2019re stuck in 76 traffic for two hours,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019ll make it just a little bit easier that way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For many, lifestyle and accessibility are a large concern surrounding electric vehicles.
