National Drive Electric Week, September 14-22, 2019, is a nationwide celebration
to heighten awareness of today's widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and
highlight the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks,
motorcycles, and more. They are fun to drive, are less expensive and more
convenient to fuel than gasoline vehicles, are better for the environment, promote
local jobs, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Are you considering going
electric? Come talk to owners who have successfully done so.
Started in 2011 as National Plug In Day with the simple idea to hold simultaneous events across the country on the same day, by popular demand we have expanded to an entire week of events and changed the name to emphasize the thing we all want to do: drive electric. We expect National Drive Electric Week 2019 will again grow to include more events in more cities with more drivers reaching out to share the many advantages of driving electric with the public.
Each event is led by local plug-in drivers and advocates and typically includes some combination of EV parades, ride-and-drives, electric tailgate parties, press conferences, award ceremonies, informational booths, and more. Plug In America, Sierra Club, and the Electric Auto Association serve as the national team providing support to the events throughout the country. We are pleased to partner with the many other organizations and individuals working to bring National Drive Electric Week to communities across the country.
