ACEP intern supports electric vehicles' drive north to the future

What does it mean to be first? To some it means to push boundaries exploring new territories, for others the term may carry no weight at all, still others may think it shows a vanity on the part of the person trying to be first. We were the first. We were the first people to drive electric vehicles to Oliktok Point. Oliktok Point is the farthest-north point in the United States that can be driven to — a total of 1,096 miles, round trip. There were certainly a few hurdles to overcome along the way, but in the end we all made it.

What's happening today
