National Drive Electric Week Activities
Annapolis Green is bringing you National Drive Electric Week, September 26-October 4, a nationwide celebration to raise awareness of the many benefits of and options for driving electric. EVs are fun to drive and one of the best things you can do to mitigate Climate Change! Besides, they’re becoming pretty normal now… are less expensive than you think, stylish, and convenient.
