Drive Electric Earth Month is an exciting time for electric vehicle enthusiasts across the country. This event, which is an extension of the traditional Drive Electric Week, aims to showcase the benefits of electric vehicles and promote sustainable transportation options. Organized by Plug In America, the Sierra Club, the Electric Vehicle Association, EV Hybrid Noire, and Drive Electric USA, Drive Electric Earth Month features a variety of events including community celebrations, EV Ride & Drives, and opportunities to interact with EV owners.
This year, there are 158 events registered across the US and one in Mexico, with a wide range of activities planned. One standout event was the Asheville showcase, which highlighted the resilience of EVs in the face of natural disasters. The Rivian R1T, a popular electric truck, made headlines for surviving Hurricane Helene, demonstrating the durability of electric vehicles.

From a Big Island EV Cruise and Picnic in Hawaii to the Santa Barbara Earth Day Green Car Show in California, there are numerous opportunities for people to learn about and experience electric vehicles firsthand. Other events include seminars, test drives, car shows, and educational activities for both adults and children.
One unique event to look out for is Rove’s EV Drive Days in Santa Ana, hosted by the company behind the innovative “full-service” EV charging concept. This event aims to showcase the latest in EV technology and promote sustainable transportation solutions.
