Drive Electric Earth Month
Kick Gas! Annapolis
Annapolis, MD
Apr 19 2026

Event Report

It rained during the entire event so public participation was low. There was nothing we could do about that. But, the conversations we had were with people who were ready to go electric. From that perspective, it was a success. 

We had participation from these organizations (two others canceled due to weather):

• Blue Whale EV (charging infrastructure company)
• EVHybridNoire
• Chesapeake Climate Action Network
• City of Annapolis with its electric transit bus and micro-mobility tricycle

The City of Annapolis Presented us with a citation signed by the mayor and city council members, as follows:
