Quebec City Electric Vehicle Show: Free EV inspections for visitors
CAA-Quebec is inviting electric vehicle (EV) owners to have their vehicles evaluated free of charge at its EV Health Clinic, which will be open to visitors to the 2nd Quebec City Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle Show, October 1 to 3 at the ExpoCité Centre de foires.
The record is starting to show that electric vehicles are generally reliable. But they are not free of electronic faults that can go undetected if not diagnosed by professionals. Their 12-volt batteries also suffer natural deterioration that can make them harder to start.
Those are just some of the things that CAA-Quebec’s experienced technicians will be checking on every electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle that comes their way during the three-day show. Using specialized equipment and a rigorous analysis grid, they will provide EV owners with a detailed picture of the health of their vehicle, regardless of its age.
Visitors to the show who are interested in having their vehicles checked need only stop by the CAA-Quebec booth across from the CAA-Quebec Foundation Conference Centre and obtain a pass for the clinic, which will be conveniently located on Rue de l’Exposition at the north end of the Exhibition Centre.
“Inspecting an EV requires precise expertise. Our EV Health Clinic at the Quebec City Electric Vehicle Show will give you a good idea of what needs to be done on your vehicle before you head to your preferred garage for service or repairs.”
-Pierre-Serge Labbé, Vice President, Automotive Services, CAA-Quebec
EV information you can trust
CAA-Quebec will be joining with the sixty or so exhibitors at the show to inform the public about all aspects of buying and driving an EV. Visitors will be able to talk to CAA-Quebec advisors at the booth and attend lectures by CAA-Quebec experts on the myths and realities of EVs, how to buy a used EV, and the tangible benefits of EV eco-driving.
