Congrats to Steven Day, America's New Cross-Country E-Motorcycle Champ!

Congrats to Steven Day and the Charging Across America Challenge team for beating the Cannonball cross-country electric motorcycle record on Earth Day 2022!

Steven’s epic trip started on Monday, 4/18/22, at The Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach, California. Today, he reached his destination at New York City's Red Ball Garage at 9:30 p.m. (ET), after riding 111 hours and 30 minutes across America on his 2021 Energica EVA Ribelle. He beat the previous record of 178 hours and 17 minutes by nearly 67 hours!

Boston Electrifies City Fleet to Achieve Green New Deal Goals

Boston is making great strides in achieving its "Green New Deal" goals by electrifying the city's vehicle fleet!

Last week, Mayor Michelle Wu shared that Boston Public Schools will soon launch an electric school bus pilot program. Twenty electric buses will be deployed during the 2022-2023 school year, with the goal of full fleet electrification by 2030.

Another neat initiative is Boston's new electric vehicle (EV) “train the trainer” program that is launching this May. It provides an educational pathway for people to learn how to professionally and safely maintain and service EVs, which in turn creates a highly qualified workforce for these high-paying jobs.

Voltrek would like to thank Bill Coughlin, Boston's director of fleet maintenance, for inviting our team to attend the event at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School where Mayor Wu made these announcements.
