Below is a press release from the Reading Municipal Light Department:
READING, MA — Each year, in August, RMLD partners with the Wilmington Farmers Market, with the support of the Town of Wilmington, to host an electric vehicle (EV) showcase.

The 2026 RMLD Electric Vehicle Show will be Sunday, August 23, 2026, from 10am to 1pm, on the Wilmington Town Common.
This year’s show will feature:
— A walk-through format displaying a variety of EVs

— Information on RMLD rebates and programs, including incentives for EV chargers and the Connected Homes incentive program
— Opportunity to ask questions directly to the RMLD team

Why Drive Electric? Key Benefits for You
Electric vehicles can provide many benefits to drivers over the life of the vehicle.
— Lower costs: After factoring in state and other incentives, EVs can cost less to own compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. RMLD offers a rebate for EV chargers.
— Reliability: EVs have fewer moving parts than gasoline-powered cars, which can lead to lower maintenance needs and fewer mechanical failures.
— Convenience: EVs can be charged overnight, so you wake up to a full battery and are ready to go.
— Performance: Electric motors provide instant torque, combined with even weight distribution and a low center of gravity, resulting in superior handling and a smoother ride.
