Plug-In KC’s first Charged Up: Coffee + EVs brought together local EV owners for a relaxed morning of coffee and conversation at Corinth Square in Prairie Village!

Thanks to our ten EV owners volunteered to share their experiences, creating a diverse lineup that included Volkswagen ID.4s, a Dodge Charger Daytona EV, Nissan Ariya, MINI Cooper SE, Lucid Air, Tesla Model 3, and a Kia EV6. Community members who stopped by took the opportunity to ask questions about charging, road trips, ownership costs, and what it’s really like to live with an electric vehicle.

Can't get enough of this fantastic Kansas City, KS story with more great news from Orange EV! This quote from president and chief technology officer Kurt Neutgens sums it up:
"If you look at our truck, a customer saves about $500,000 over a 10-year period without any incentives. As the price of fuel rises, that benefit only grows. That’s enough to get them excited, so once they get out of diesel, they don’t want to go back.”

Orange EV produced about 35 electric trucks a month when it moved into a new facility in Kansas City, Kansas in 2024. Today, it's producing 120 a month and growing.
