National Drive Electric Week from Sept. 23 to Oct. 3 is a campaign of free events across the country that highlight the many benefits of clean electric vehicles (EVs). During the week, in-person and online events will provide helpful information for those beginning their EV journey and go in-depth on various EV topics. In many communities, in-person events will give you the opportunity to view various EV models and talk to current EV drivers.
According to a recent survey by Plug In America, more than two million electric vehicles have been sold in the United States, and 96% of EV drivers report that they will purchase another EV. EV drivers enjoy significantly reduced fuel and maintenance costs and the convenience of plugging in at home overnight. Plus, EVs offer a superior driving experience, with a smoother, quieter ride and instant acceleration. They also reduce air pollution, reducing the risk of respiratory illness, heart disease and lung cancer for all.
