Create a National Drive Electric Week event The 10th annual National Drive Electric Week (NDEW) will take place September 26–October 4, 2020. Each year, this campaign includes events that raise awareness of the many benefits of electric vehicles. We plan to hold in-person events where they are in compliance with local health guidelines, but will also be adding virtual events to NDEW for the first time. If you are interested in creating your own event, visit the NDEW website and sign up for a webinar for event organizers on June 19. Plus, if you register your event before Friday, June 26, you will be entered to win a Clipper Creek charging station! (Terms and conditions apply.) Watch a recording of the Drive Electric Earth Day virtual event, which was streamed live on April 22, on Facebook or YouTube. | |
