Great turnout today at our first Earth Month event in Chesterfield … join us next Saturday, April 19 for our second event at Deep Run Park in Henrico!
Our line-up of EVs included a Chevy Bolt, Ford Mustang Mach-E, an EV conversion, and an electrified EquinoxOh the irony: Cole the Racoon, Chesterfield’s new mascot and representative of the county’s coal mining history, standing next to a car whose electricity comes primarily from natural gas.“Living room” style set-up invited people to check out the info and tabletop displays Kids loved racing the diecast EVs

Another way we targeted our outreach last year was to focus on car enthusiasts with the All Charged Up for EVs initiative. We attended six car shows and meets in Henrico, Charles City and Richmond, connecting with more than 250 people. Below are the "best EV in show" winners!

As part of our strategic goal of targeting our outreach, we did fewer EV Round-Ups in 2024, focusing on attending larger farmers markets and those that cater to specific demographics. We connected with more than 200 people at four markets in Henrico County and the City of Richmond.

Looking ahead to 2025, we're considering attending more farmers markets to connect with the EV curious. But that means we need to do less of something else. So, should we continue to have two Electrics & Espresso car meets a month? If not, should we choose the Libbie Mill Starbucks or Coco + Hazel?
