Two women and a child, all dressed as vampires, stand in front on an electric vehicle's frunk that is decorated to look like a vampire bat.

Supporting Trunk or Treat

Chugach transformed the Chevy Silverado EV’s frunk into a vampire bat for the Arc of Anchorage’s Trunk or Treat fundraiser on September 13. The display was designed to educate members about “vampire loads”—devices that continue to draw electricity even when we think they are off. Hundreds of children and families stopped by for candy and hot chocolate, which was made with power from the EV. Trunk or Treat is an annual fundraiser to support the Arc of Anchorage, which offers comprehensive disability services including advocacy, health support, employment assistance, and behavioral health programs.

Chugach powers Music in the Park

The many benefits of electric vehicles were on display at Music in the Park this July. Chugach used the EV truck to power the event, which means you don't have to use a generator. There were over 1,000 people enjoying the music on a sunny evening, and our staff had a great time talking with our members about EVs and other Chugach programs.
