National Drive Electric Week Reaches 150 Cities
Plug In America, a San Francisco-based national nonprofit organization working to advance plug-in vehicles powered by domestic electricity, has announced that as the group approaches its fifth year, it now reaches 150 cities across the U.S.
The group also announced that Nissan will serve as the exclusive automotive sponsor for National Drive Electric Week through 2017. National Drive Electric Week, the largest annual organized gathering of plug-in vehicle drivers, celebrates its fifth anniversary this September with test drives and other activities planned in cities throughout the U.S. and beyond.
National Drive Electric Week is based on the idea that nothing beats ride-and-drives in clean, quiet and powerful plug-in vehicles for converting gasoline-car drivers to EV owners.
The event, designed to showcase the fun, cost-savings and clean-air benefits of plug-in vehicles, was launched in 2011 in 29 cities, growing to more than 150 cities in the U.S. and abroad in 2014.
Plug In America, the Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association team up with local groups to organize events, which typically feature all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric cars from every automaker on the market.
Noted Andrew Speaker, Director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Marketing, “We are continuing to support National Drive Electric Week because this event helps bring owners of LEAF and other EVs together to share their experience and educate consumers on the benefits of driving electric cars.”
National Drive Electric Week will take place Sept. 12 through 20. More at: Drive Electric.
