Flagstaff EV Ride & Drive a Success!

Flagstaff EV Ride & Drive

What a Great Day in Flagstaff!

After Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with our first attempt, we couldn’t have asked for better conditions this time around. Perfect weather, a fantastic lineup of electric vehicles, and an enthusiastic crowd made the Flagstaff EV Ride & Drive a tremendous success.

Attendees had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a wide variety of EVs, explore even more vehicles on display, and talk directly with EV owners about charging, range, road trips, everyday ownership, and more.

EVs Aren’t Just New Cars

This electric-conversion Pontiac Fiero was a great reminder that electric driving isn’t limited to vehicles rolling off today’s assembly lines. EV enthusiasm — and ingenuity — comes in all shapes, sizes, and ages.

Thank You, Flagstaff!

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, brought a vehicle, helped with setup and operations, and joined us to experience electric driving firsthand.
