For the fifth year in a row, Georgia Power is joining with other energy companies, auto manufacturers and Commissioner Tim Echols of the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) to support the Georgia Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Roadshow. The AFV Roadshow, kicking off today in Gainesville, is an annual cross-state event focused on showcasing clean transportation options, including electric vehicles (EVs). During this year's roadshow, Georgia Power is highlighting its electric transportation program including EV charger rebates for residential and business customers and new public charging infrastructure currently being installed across the state.     

Since its creation in 2011, the AFV Roadshow has become a national event with tours reaching dozens of cities in seven states. Local educational events as part of the tour are designed to equip fleet managers, city leaders and state legislators with the information they need to make informed decisions about transitioning to domestic, clean fuels. The roadshow incorporates vehicle demos as well as live, educational seminars.
