Event Report
Our event filled the Cincinnati Art Museum's main parking lot with over 30 EVs, bringing together EV owners and the EV-curious to chat and answer questions. The enthusiasm of EV owners was clear, even though the weather forecast wasn't!- Kings VW's ID.4 was busy giving EV rides and test drives
- Electrada, which earlier in the year installed the Cincinnati Art Museum's 8 charging stalls, gave charging demonstrations
- Solar Energy Solutions provided interested attendees with information on how to drive on sunshine

This shows many of the event's electric cars available for rides and test drives: Chevy Volt & Bolt and Tesla Model S & Model Y. A Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3, and VW ID.4 are out of view. In the next row we also had an "EV Showcase" of even more electric cars on display. |
Event Description
Drive Electric Cincinnati invites you to an electric vehicle meet-up and ride & drive at the main parking lot of the Cincinnati Art Museum.
Interesting in learning more
about driving electric?
Not yet an Electric Vehicle (EV) owner? This event is for you! Check out the wide range of EVs available and chat with EV owners. Learn from their experience about what it is like to own and drive an electric car. Learn about options for public charging and charging at home. We will have a public charging demonstration at the EV chargers in the museum's lot.
At the event, sign up to ride in an EV or take one out for a test drive. (Bring a mask for wearing inside the cars and when near other people.) Experience the smooth, quiet acceleration and see for yourself what people are talking about!
Already an EV owner?
Bring your EV, share your EV
experience and compare notes with other EV owners. If you are willing to give EV rides in your
personal EV, please note that in the comments when you register via the "Participate" button.
Enjoy the Cincinnati Art Museum after the event!
Free Ticket: Anyone who takes an EV test drive or ride (age 16 or older), or volunteers who help staff the event, will receive a free ticket ($10 value) to the Museum’s historic special exhibition, “Paintings, Politics and the Monuments Men”. This exhibition focuses on the fate of 200 of the finest European paintings from the Berlin State Museums that traveled to the United States soon after the end of the war. Attendees also have the opportunity to win various prizes, including a family membership at Cincinnati Art Museum!
Check out the Museum's Art Climb, adjacent to the event. Stay for a Cincinnati Art Museum
visit with free general admission, open from 10am-5pm. You may use your
free special exhibition ticket same-day or during a later visit within six months.
EV charging available: The Museum has eight new Electrada chargers. Those who need to charge will have priority for these reserved
spaces. Arrive early.
