Drive Electric Earth Month is an opportunity to highlight clean energy by including electric vehicles in your community's Earth Day celebration. Each event is led by local plug-in drivers and advocates and typically includes some combination of EV parades, ride-and-drives, electric tailgate parties, kids’ activities, great food, press conferences, award ceremonies, informational booths, and more. Plug In America, Electric Vehicle Association, Sierra Club, EVHybridNoire, and Drive Electric USA serve as the national team providing support to the events throughout the country. We are pleased to partner with the many other organizations and individuals working to bring Drive Electric Earth Month to communities across the country.
There are a wide variety of opportunities for automakers, utilities, charging equipment manufacturers, environmental non-profits and government agencies to support, sponsor and participate at the national level as well as at local events.
At the national level, Drive Electric Earth Month is a collaboration between Plug In America, Electric Vehicle Association, Sierra Club, EVHybridNoire, and Drive Electric USA. Supporting Drive Electric Earth Month at the national level helps support our work in organizing the national effort, coordinating communications nationally, building awareness, and supporting local events.
National sponsors can receive recognition on the web site, in press releases and through social media. Email the DEEM national organizers via [sponsorship-2025 at driveelectricearthmonth dot org] for information on support levels and corresponding recognition programs.
National sponsorships can be facilitated through Plug In America, Sierra Club or the Electric Vehicle Association. Contact [sponsorship-2025 at driveelectricearthmonth dot org] for more information.

Our local events need sponsors, too. Local events are independently organized and event sponsorship opportunities will vary. Some examples of ways to help local events are:
- Provide an online or phyical event space.
- Promote Drive Electric Earth Month by issuing a press release, sending an email or mailing to customers, and/or trumpeting Drive Electric Earth Month on social media.
- Donate an item or service for a prize drawing in an online event.
- Donate funds, food or other items to help offset the costs of local events.
- Provide an online event speaker information at a local event's booth or table.
- Provide vehicles or charging units to showcase.
- Provide charging units for event participants to use to charge their vehicles.
- Provide vehicles for in-person or virtual test-drives.
To sponsor a local online or in-person event, use the event map to find the event(s) nearest you. Click on a pin to get basic info about the event and a link to that event's page. From any event page, use the Contact button to contact that event's organizers. If you want to support more than a few local events, contact [sponsorship-2025 at driveelectricearthmonth dot org] to arrange communications with the local event organizers.
Sponsors are encouraged to promote Drive Electric Earth Month and/or local events and may use the Drive Electric Earth Month logo and title as well as the logos of the national organizers subject to these conditions:
- All promotional materials (press releases, posters, flyers, etc.) must include "Drive Electric Earth Month is presented by Plug In America, Electric Vehicle Association, Sierra Club, EVHybridNoire, and Drive Electric USA" or a similar, substantially equivalent, statement. Web links and logos of the presenting organizations should be included when appropriate.
- The names of sponsoring companies may be included on local press releases in the form of quotes and factual information (like "General Motors participated in the event by providing test-rides of its Chevy Volts...").
- Corporate engagement cannot be described as a "partnership," as that word has other implications for our organizations.
Logo artwork is available for use on promotional materials.
