Plug it In / Ponte Las Pilas!

Saturday, April 20th: 9 AM to 3 PM at the La Plata Fairgrounds & Event Center and the Durango Community Recreation Center.

4CORE and the Monarca Group are joining forces this Earth Day to celebrate the power of electric transportation across cultures. We’ve designed this event to be a welcoming space for everyone, with the aim of providing an environment that promotes, educates, and provides all the necessary elements to make the transition to EV ownership as smooth as possible. 

The event will have electric vehicles on hand for test driving and presentations on EVs, such as EV anxiety- “Addressing the Elephant in the Room,” “Ask an Expert,” available tax incentives and rebates, and info on EV charger installation.

EV owners will also be there to answer questions. This is a family-friendly event with food trucks, live music, and activities.

Free transportation between sites is provided by the Historic Durango Trolley.

“This energy audit makes our space even more enjoyable for everyone…and we actually saved money the very next day!”

“Without 4CORE’s weatherization work, we would have never figured out why we were feeling so sick. The auditor found a leak of carbon monoxide from the water heater. Thanks 4CORE for making our home safer!”
