Best of Arizona Cars and Coffee & Car Club International

On Sunday, April 19th, DRIVE Electric Arizona was invited to participate in a special Best of Arizona Cars & Coffee event around the Fountain Park in Fountain Hills, AZ. The morning was filled with hundreds of cars of all varieties, and we, along with our host  BESPOKEV, staged a static EV display which included a number of production, customized, and conversion EVs. This event drew a large crowd and we had hundreds of interested and fruitful engagements!

In the afternoon, there was an associated but separate event, The Car Club Invitational, organized by the same group that invited car clubs to come show and have their cars judged with half a dozen trophies awarded. A 1935 vintage Ford Coupe hotrod converted to electric by its owner Robert Dowling won the trophy for Best EV Conversion, which was fitting given the "customized car" club atmosphere of the gathering. The Coupe had a Tesla battery pack and motor, dual i-pad dash gauge displays, and a custom BMS created by its maker. Amnon Salim’s 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre was awarded the “Best EV” of the show.
