Event Report

Before I go into the event description, I just wanted to bring to NDEW's attention that the 2024 Indianapolis/Carmel EV Ride and Drive was put together in about a month and a half. I bring this up because both of our city's usually begin planning our separate events 8 to 10 months in advance and had we stayed on that model, while we may have had two separate events, they may have been larger in scale. With all that said, I feel that we did pull together a very successful event in a short amount of time.

While this year we didn't have any sponsors we did have 10 organizational partners which are listed below in addition to have live music by J. Elliott
    • Vendors/exhibitors:

      • GOEVIN

      • Solar United Neighbors

      • EV Mobile Connect

      • Motor/AES Indiana

      • Tesco

      • Greater Indiana

      • 913 Sports

      • IndyGo

      • Pacers Bikeshare

      • Simple Indy

The most unusual and popular vehicle was a replica of a 1908 Waverly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope-Waverley) electric vehicle which were built in Indianapolis around the turn of the last century.

Event Description

 

The Indy EV Showcase is back! The Indianapolis Office of Sustainability and City of Carmel invite you to Indy’s premier event for getting up to speed on driving electric.

If you’re EV-curious, join us at St. Luke's United Methodist Church to test-drive multiple new-model EVs, demo a charger, learn about incentives for EV owners, ask the experts all of your questions, and talk to other local drivers about EV ownership.

Live music will be provided by J. Elliott, as well as complimentary espresso drinks from our partners. This event is free and open to the public.
