The EV Ride & Drive changed everything for us.

"We had been car shopping for months, struggling to find any vehicles to look at in Flagstaff—especially used electric cars. Our 27-year-old truck couldn’t make another trip to Phoenix, and we were feeling stuck.

Thanks to the EV Ride & Drive, we were finally able to sit in, explore, and test drive a variety of EVs. It gave us the confidence to order a car online, knowing we’d actually like what we were getting. When our truck broke down again last week, we placed the order—and today, our 2023 Nissan Ariya arrived from Carvana. I love it!

I’m excited to be an EV owner now, and I’d love to be part of next year’s event."

One year later, I came full circle—this time as the EV owner.

“After coming to a Ride and Drive in 2024, I purchased an EV. When the opportunity arose, I took it to the Sedona Ride & Drive to allow others to experience what I had. It was encouraging to see a good turnout in Sedona of people who were in a similar situation to mine a year earlier, wanting to experience an EV and hear from owners first-hand.”
