In the market for a new car? Curious about the Tesla's and other electric vehicles you’ve seen at your neighbor’s house or the parking garage at your job?
Drive Electric RVA will have Central Virginia’s largest display of electric vehicles on Sep. 25 in the parking lot of the Perkinson Center, plus an electric bike and scooter corral and ride-and-drives. In addition, we plan to offer activities throughout the day containing both online and in-person components:
- Three opportunities to play games and win prizes
- 10th anniversary screening of “Revenge of the Electric Car” documentary — Introduced by Paul Scott, co-founder of Plug In America
- Two panel discussions with local and national experts — “EV Mythbusting” and “Building a New (and Better) Model for Transportation”
- Children’s activities
- EV Experience educational exhibits
