The Newsletter of Electric Vehicle Society

December 2020

I am very pleased to report that we have welcomed a new member to the EVS Communications Comittee: Matt Kostan.

Matt is a Tesla Model 3 owner from Newmarket, ON. He'll be helping the EVS with graphic design and branding projects. His background is in e-commerce sales having built multiple product brands himself. His latest project raised almost $100k on Kickstarter.

He credits the EV society with peaking his interest in EVs when he saw our booth at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto a few years ago. His Model 3 purchase was a direct result of that!

Matt brings a great store of knowledge, experience and artistic talent will help to insure that EV Surge remains a relevant, attractive and useful tool in spreading the EV message!
