National Drive Electric Week is designed to showcase the speed, convenience, clean-air benefits, and fuel cost-savings of electric vehicles through ride-and-drives and other great activities. More than a dozen different electric vehicles will be represented.

Have you been hearing about all the new electric options and want to ride in one yourself to see what all the buzz is about? This is a good chance to check out some of the newest models. Some events will feature test drives by local auto dealers or test rides with owners, and all offer the opportunity to learn about the driving electric experience from veteran EV drivers.

Further details for the event can be found at the links below, including a list of the vehicle models expected to participate here in Houston.
