Event Description
The Philly EV Club,
with Sierra Club's Southeastern PA Group, and others, are hosting the 1st National Drive Electric
Week event in Philadelphia. This is a free event, and open to all, especially people who're
not sure an EV is right for them.
Come meet other EV drivers, learn about the cars and showcase your own EV. Folks will talk about personal & societal benefits of transitioning from gasoline cars to electric cars / vehicles (EVs). Learn about the new technology from neighbors and friends.
Have an EV? Drive on over and
share your story! The more variety of vehicles and stories we have, the
better!
