Ranger James attended the Electric Vehicle Conference in Toronto a few months ago to share his two passions: electric vehicles and being an Earth Ranger!
When James was 7 years old, he learned that the planet was in trouble and polar bear populations were decreasing. Ranger James sprung into action by becoming an Earth Rangers member.
Now at age 11, James spends a lot of time outdoors enjoying nature, is a long-distance runner, and has taken a keen interest in electric vehicles. Attending the Electric Vehicle Conference was really important to him and while there he was able to speak to a few key individuals that helped set up the event. “I wanted to have a car company before I became an Earth Ranger. I went to a car show with my Dad when I was 6. My Dad showed me how electric vehicles are better cars so it came together with saving the earth,” says James. “I wanted to learn more about EV’s and learn more about business”
Ranger James shared the following message with conference attendees: “Thank you for being plugged in, and don’t unplug yourself,” He also thanked companies at the event for “doing what you do for the environment!” Ranger James is always sure to tell green businesses that they are Earth Rangers too. While attending the event, Ranger James had the opportunity to interview some really interesting people from various companies including Havelaar, Ford, Aviva insurance (who sponsored the Plug n Drive), and Electric Vehicle Society. He also met the President of Electric Mobility Canada as well as many members from the EMC board!
So, what’s next for Ranger James? “I want to meet Elon Musk. And going to the Novi show in Detroit in September. And I want to learn French. And I’m working on my own electric car company. I am working on saving the Earth one person at a time. In my Youtube channel and my social media, I am going to get tens of thousands of followers. the reason I’m not saying “hoping” is because I know I will do it!” – sounds amazing! Ranger James leaves us with an important statement: “Go Green and Drive electric!”
Thank you to Ranger James for sharing his electrifying story!
