Celebrate National Drive Electric Month

Big news for electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts and curious drivers alike: What used to be a week-long celebration has officially expanded! For the first time ever, 2026 marks the transition to National Drive Electric Month, running from September 11 through October 12. This nationwide event focuses on raising awareness about the many benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars, trucks and motorcycles.

Whether you already own an EV or are simply thinking about making the switch, we offer several programs to help you charge ahead with confidence:

• Ready to save? Charging an EV at home is highly cost-effective – equivalent to paying less than $1 per gallon for gasoline. You can use our online savings calculator to see how much you could save by moving away from traditional fuel.
• Host a station: Want to bring clean energy infrastructure to your local workplace or commercial site? Our EV Hosting Program offers a seamless, turnkey solution for businesses looking to install and maintain Level 2 charging stations.
