As part of a Drive Electric Tennessee Chapter, you will

• Have the pleasure of letting others know about your experience with EVs.
• Learn from and share with other EV owners.
• Keep up to date on changing technology, products, and issues.
• Be a part of events like National Drive Electric Week (NDEW) and Drive Electric Earth Month (DEEM).

Here’s what three Chapter members have to say:

“Joining the Drive Electric group has been a game-changer, allowing me to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for sustainable driving. The camaraderie in our group is unmatched; it’s inspiring to be part of a community dedicated to pioneering the future of transportation.

Drive Electric Nashville/TN isn’t just about cars—it’s about making a positive impact on the environment and fostering meaningful connections. Being part of DEN has broadened my knowledge and appreciation for electric vehicles, while also forging lifelong friendships. Through Drive Electric Nashville, I’ve found a group of like-minded individuals committed to driving change and advancing the adoption of electric vehicles.”

– Justin H., Drive Electric Nashville

“I enjoy sharing ideas with my fellow EV enthusiasts as part of our Drive Electric Memphis Chapter. Knowing there are others who are passionate about learning and advocating for electric vehicles and infrastructure is very rewarding. We had a great time during our recent Drive Electric Earth Month celebration and look forward to celebrating National Drive Electric Week in September.”

– Alvin P., Drive Electric Memphis

“We have an ever-growing EV family/community, which extends beyond the Knoxville Electric Vehicle Association (KEVA) chapter. We host & attend multiple events throughout the year, including the Knoxville Drive Electric Festival (NDEW), DEEM, and EVs In The Smokies. The Knoxville Drive Electric Festival is a true festival with show cars, Ride & Drives, live music, food trucks, and other activities. We’ve had well over 100 EVs each of the last two years. EVs In The Smokies is held in Townsend near the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It’s more like a company picnic with the public invited. Last year, we had nearly 50 EVs.”

– Susan G., Knoxville Electric Vehicle Association
