Electric vehicle ride-and-drives, informational event planned in five Michigan cities
September 19, 2024
As part of National Drive Electric Week, five Michigan cities are planning to host electric vehicle (EV) ride-and-drives and an informational session. The week is a nationwide celebration to raise awareness of the many benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more.

Attendees will have the opportunity to test drive various models of EVs, talk to EV owners, see vehicles on display, and learn about the latest in EV technology.
National Drive Electric Week plays a major role in local communities to educate people about electric vehicles, allowing people to learn from EV owners directly and to ask questions about incentives and rebates, charging, and more.
EVs will be showcased and/or available for ride-and-drives at events in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, East Lansing, and Ann Arbor. The Portage Library is hosting an informational session titled “Is an EV Right for Me?” Click on the event name below for more details.
