Education & Outreach
In the summer of 2023, Minnkota added an all-electric Ford Lightning F-150 to its fleet. The goal of the EV was threefold:
- To experience the advantages and challenges of an EV firsthand so that we could become the go-to experts of the technology.
- To bring the car to our cooperative communities to share the benefits and possibilities of an all-electric vehicle, debunk myths about EVs and answer the public’s questions.
- To more confidently engage in public discussion about the future of charging infrastructure and EV adoption in Minnesota and North Dakota.
