This campaign spanned just under a month, and in a very short amount of time garnered coverage with an equivalent of 83 million unique visitors and 2.3 million in print (Fast Company, NPR, CNET, LA Times) reaching a broader EV community to demonstrate the power, practicality and environmental benefits of this emerging form of transportation.
