SA Drive Electric is a ride and drive event for the San Antonio and central Texas community to get acquainted with EVs and EV Charging. Our goal is to increase Electric Vehicle awareness and adoption. We will provide the community with EV education ranging from EV charging to environmental benefits, and how to reduce range anxiety. The event will allow for drivers to take a test drive in electric vehicles and bicycles on a predetermined route. There will also be displays showing EVs and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment along with experts that can talk about them to the community.
