Isringhausen Imports was proud to once again take part in the EV Ride & Drive experience at the 2025 Ameren Illinois Business Symposium, held October 15 at the Bank of Springfield Center. The event drew hundreds of energy professionals from across Central Illinois, offering attendees the chance to test-drive five cutting-edge electric vehicles—including the exhilarating BMW i5 M60 sport sedan—provided by local dealers in partnership with the symposium.

Drivers embarked on a 10-minute guided route through Downtown Springfield, passing iconic landmarks such as Abraham Lincoln's home and the famous Dana-Thomas House. The Ride & Drive proved to be a highlight of the day, with many participants returning for multiple drives between breakout sessions and keynote presentations.

Hosted annually as part of the Ameren Illinois Energy Efficiency Program, the symposium serves as a dynamic platform for businesses and energy professionals to explore cost-saving technologies, discover incentive opportunities, and connect with industry leaders. The 2025 agenda featured expert-led breakout sessions, exhibitor showcases, networking opportunities, and more.

Isringhausen Imports is honored to support this forward-thinking initiative and looks forward to participating again next year. Special thanks to Ameren Illinois for organizing a well-executed event that continues to drive innovation and sustainability across our region.
