Partnering with other organizations to host electric vehicle community events is a great way to bring current EV drivers together with community members who want to learn more. Events can take place as showcase events, ride and drives, or parades. The best way to get people excited about EVs is for them to test drive them. It also offers an opportunity for elected officials to show their support for electric transportation. Driving on Sunshine, a campaign of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) is one way to help educate.

 

Examples:

• Capitol Electric Transportation Day Atlanta, GA

• National Drive Electric Week

• Drive Electric Earth Day
