    Ventura National Drive Electric Week

     

    VENTURA, Calif – The County of Ventura is partnering with Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance to host the Ventura Electric Vehicle (EV) Ride and Drive event on September 17th.  The public is invited to test drive a variety of electric vehicles, learn from industry experts and enjoy food and giveaways. This free event is part of National Drive Electric Week’s EV outreach activities staged in more than 300 communities across the country to highlight the clean-air benefits, cost-savings, and fun provided by driving an electric vehicle.

    Chair of the Board of Supervisors, Steve Bennett, stated, “By increasing access to EVs, we are supporting the state’s goal of putting five million zero-emission cars on its roads by 2030. In reducing the number of gasoline- and diesel-fueled vehicles on the road, we are reducing air pollution, protecting the health of our citizens, and helping reduce the impacts of climate change.”
