Arlington Drive Electric Day is an opportunity to see electric cars and speak with owners.  Learn from owner experience what it is like to own and drive an electric car. 

The event is located at Kenmore Middle School in central Arlington with ample parking.  Kenmore Middle School can be reached via Metro Bus routes 25B, 4B, and 75.

Fossil fuel-driven cars and trucks account for more than 50% of Greenhouse Gas emissions. We need to reduce CO2 pollution and ultimately eliminate it to secure a safer, cleaner planet for ourselves and for our children.  In Virginia, electric vehicles using the grid cause less than half the CO2 pollution of gas-powered cars. As electricity generation migrates to non-carbon energy sources, the EV’s indirect CO2 emissions will decrease significantly, eventually getting to carbon-free.  Also, it is important that electric vehicles are fun to drive!  Typically EVs cost less to power than gas cars, the maintenance costs are lower, and there is a federal tax credit for vehicles and chargers, making the total cost of ownership of many models favorable to gas engine cars.
