Here’s a sign of the times for this Earth Day. When you drive electric (among other things), you can make a difference!

Great turnout today at our first Earth Month event in Chesterfield … join us next Saturday, April 19 for our second event at Deep Run Park in Henrico!

FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is everywhere, even in a refrigerated case of an international foods market …

Stop by our Electric Lounge this Tuesday, 1/21 to stop the FUD!

Another way we targeted our outreach last year was to focus on car enthusiasts with the All Charged Up for EVs initiative. We attended six car shows and meets in Henrico, Charles City and Richmond, connecting with more than 250 people.

Below are the "best EV in show" winners!

As part of our strategic goal of targeting our outreach, we did fewer EV Round-Ups in 2024, focusing on attending larger farmers markets and those that cater to specific demographics. We connected with more than 200 people at four markets in Henrico County and the City of Richmond.

Drive Electric RVA started the year by celebrating our 10th anniversary of promoting electric vehicles as a fun, practical and sustainable transportation alternative.

This was an exciting year for educating and exciting people about EVs. Over the next few days, we’ll review 2024 and offer a few peeks at what's ahead. In the meantime, please support our chapter of the Electric Vehicle Association by becoming a member: eaa-1967.clubexpress.com/content.aspx....

Looking ahead to 2025, we're considering attending more farmers markets to connect with the EV curious. But that means we need to do less of something else. So, should we continue to have two Electrics & Espresso car meets a month? If not, should we choose the Libbie Mill Starbucks or Coco + Hazel?

Happy holidays all!

We celebrated last Saturday in Powhatan County by participating in their Christmas Parade

Connected with around 70 people at the holiday edition of the Big Gay Market last Sunday … we plan to visit farmers markets throughout the metro area in 2025
December 12, 2024 at 4:35 AM
Together, we can do great things. Happy Thanksgiving to our awesome community of EV owners and enthusiasts. 🦃

It was a brisk but beautiful morning for our last car meet of the year at the Starbucks in Libbie Mill There was pre-holiday cheer to go along with the coffee and conversation.
