Drive Electric Earth Month
Drive Electric Expo for Earth Fest
Keene, NH
Apr 22, 2023

Event Report

This was the Monadnock Sustainability Hub's (approx.) 11th Drive Electric event, and the most successful. We counted a min. of 299 visitors, and had 19 EVs on display, representing the widest array of vehicle types since we started presenting Drive Es. 3 different local dealerships participated, bringing 6 different EVs (5 new and one used), and 13 private EV owners shared their vehicles.

The vehicle variety included all Tesla models, Chevy Bolts and a Volt, a Ford Mustang Mach-E, a VW ID.4, Kias, a Ford F1-150 Lightning, a Rivian R1T, and others.

We presented a series of 5 minute mini-talks on popular topics (home charging, EV purchase incentives etc.) but did not effectively get the word out so people were aware and attended. 

Visitors were of all ages. People brought babies in strollers and dogs on leashes. It was a party atmosphere, and part of a larger city event called Earth Fest, sponsored by the Monadnock Food Co-op, with whom we have partnered for several important collaborations - inc. bringing the first public EV fast chargers to the region (launch possible late this year), adjacent to our event site.

Most visitors walked around the whole Drive E event area and chatted with EV owners and dealers, and some also visited our tabling area where we provided various Drive E-related literature and information about our non-profit, whose work is centered on cutting carbon emissions from our part of NH.
