August Rally & Tucson Chapter Launch
Our August Rally was an incredible success!
We kicked things off at San Tan Ford in Gilbert – DRIVE Electric Arizona’s Founding Trusted EV Dealership – with coffee from Valley Grind, donuts, and first-in-Arizona test rides of Ford’s all-new MUSTANG Electric Road Bike and BRONCO Electric Mountain Bike. From there, 15 EVs caravanned from Gilbert to Tucson, turning heads along the way.
In Tucson, another dozen local EVs joined the rally, bringing our lineup to nearly 30 electric vehicles strong for the epic climb up Mt. Lemmon. By the time we reached the top, about 50 people from across Arizona – the Valley and Tucson alike – had come together to share in the drive, the views, and the excitement.
We wrapped up with a delicious lunch at Sawmill Run Restaurant, where we officially launched DRIVE Electric Tucson, celebrated our growing statewide community, and shared a special announcement:

“I’m thrilled to lead DRIVE Electric Tucson as we build momentum for EV adoption here in Southern Arizona,” said Rob Bowers, Tucson Chapter Chair. “This launch is just the beginning. I look forward to creating opportunities for our community to connect, learn, and experience the future of electric transportation together.”
Stay tuned as we’ll soon be organizing and launching regular meetups in the Tucson area, with a Ride and Drive event coming this November in partnership with Tucson Electric Power.
This event showcased the power of community, the thrill of electric driving, and the momentum we’re building together across the state.
