Valley residents can get behind the wheel – or ride as a passenger – of an electric vehicle during the EV Ride & Drive event on April 27.
Created for people who are interested in experiencing an EV, the no-cost event enables residents to ride or drive a 2.8-mile route around the local area in many different EV models – from Rivians and Teslas to a Ford F-150 Lightning, a press release explained.
These cars are made available by their owners, who will be on-hand to answer any questions and share their enthusiasm for EVs.
Those wishing to drive a vehicle must register in advance, provide a valid driver’s license and sign an electronic waiver. Any passengers are also required to sign the waiver.
EV Ride & Drive is hosted by SRP, Valley of the Sun Electric Vehicle Association, DRIVE Electric Arizona and the City of Phoenix Office of Sustainability to share the benefits of driving electric, answer questions from prospective drivers and encourage adoption of EVs, according to the release.
SRP’s 2035 Sustainability Goals include supporting the adoption of 1 million EVs in SRP’s service territory and managing 90% of EV charging by 2035.
