Event Report

It’s a wrap - the 2024 DFW National Drive Electric Day was a blast! Attendees had the opportunity to go on test rides courtesy of Moritz Kia, do scavenger hunts, play games, and win gift cards to local businesses. One lucky winner got a Level 2 home charging station courtesy of North Texas Electric Auto Association, and a major highlight was the presentation of a Ford Mustang Mach-E to former U.S. Army Sargeant Chris Henry.

EVs that were displayed at the event included several EVs from the North Texas Tesla Owners Group, Amazon EV, Lucid Air, Porsche, Lone Star F-150 Lightning Club, North Texas Rivian Group, and more!

Thank you to all exhibitors, sponsors, EV owners, volunteers, and staff who helped support and attended the event.
