It’s that time again! This week is National Drive Electric Week. What does that mean to you? Well, that depends on where you are in the electric Vehicle (EV) world:
- If you’re curious about what all this electric vehicle hubbub is about, you have a chance to meet owners of EVs to get it straight from the horse’s mouth. No salesperson trying to get you to buy something, but real honest-to-goodness EV owners who want to share their experience with you. Their experience can help you select the right EV for your needs. (yes, just like old-timer gas-powered cars, not every EV is right for everybody)
- If you’ve made the leap to EVs recently and want to learn more about EVs and the things associated with them, like:
- charging stations
- electric utility discounts
- ways to increase electric range
- renewable energy sources to power your EV (like solar or wind power) or
- cool ways to customize your EV
- If you’ve been driving an EV for a while, this is your chance to move this revolution forward. You can go to a public evert and share your knowledge with those thinking about stepping into the future of transportation. It’s also a chance for you to meet like-minded people (at least in regards to EVs…) and meet new friends. It’s a chance for you to make a difference in your world. EV owners come from the entire political/social spectrum. There are conservatives who want to free our country of its dependence on foreign oil and military entanglements. There are environmentalists who want to stop pollution and curb global climate change. The are budget-conscious people who are looking for a less expensive mode of transportation. There are gadget fans who want to play with all the cool toys. And yes, there are performance enthusiasts who love the torque and acceleration of electric motors.
No matter where you are in your electric vehicle journey, there’s fun to be had out there. So check the National Drive Electric Week website for links to events in your area and have a blast!
P.S. If you’ve found My Electric Vehicle Journey to be helpful in your journey, please let others know about it so they can benefit as well. Thanks!

Hi Buzz! I’m on!
I hope you enjoyed the test drive.
-Scotty Blue Roadster #1277
Scotty, yes I thoroughly enjoyed driving your Roadster! The Roadster was the first EV I saw that interested me. Its looks, it’s acceleration and range were so enticing. I read about it from the early announcements to production to, well, this very day. My lust for it is unabated, in fact, driving yours rekindled the flame. The EV1, although a pioneer in its own right, never appealed to me, due to its appearance. It kills me that many EV manufacturers create funky, if not outright ugly, cars. (expect a blog post and video debate on this soon) Thank you so very much for the opportunity to drive my dream car. If you ever feel like you can spare your Roadster for a couple days, and would be comfortable in front of a video camera, being interviewed, I’d love to do a video review. Even the color is one of my favorites. My senior ring from high school has a jewel that color… Oh, what has happened to me?!? Tesla Roadster lust!
