ComEd officials were on hand at Taft High School on Friday to test drive a pair of new electric cars the electric utility donated to the North Side school.
Taft two years ago was among the first schools to receive electric vehicles and charging stations paid for by ComEd’s EVs for Education grant program, and the cars are favorites of Taft’s student drivers, said junior Lina Aburukbah, who took ComEd CEO Gil Quiniones and Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez for a spin around the school’s parking lot in one of two new Nissan Leaf EVs.
