This free, family-friendly outdoor event will be held on Saturday, September 24, 2022 in downtown Lakeland’s beautiful Munn Park, adjacent to the Lakeland Farmers Market.  The event will feature local electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle owners showcasing their vehicles, answering visitor’s questions, & sharing their EV-enthusiasm. The nearby Lakeland Farmers Market's offers wonderful weekly fresh produce, delicious food, and crafts booths.

Visitors will be able to compare different makes and models and learn about the pros and cons of electric vehicles by hearing the personal experiences of owners as well as viewing educational materials at the welcome canopies.  Visitors can participate in prize drawings, an “EV-IQ” quiz, and children’s EV craft activities.  

National Drive Electric Week Lakeland is organized with the help of volunteers from the Polk EV Outreach Committee, the League of Women Voters of Polk County and the Ancient Islands Sierra Club’s Clean Energy Committee.
