That’s why the Northwest Arkansas Council worked with more than a dozen partners to put on Drive Electric NWA last year and has slated the 2023 event for Sept. 30 at Pinnacle Hills Promenade in Rogers.
The five-hour event, which starts at 11 a.m., highlights electric vehicles, electric bikes and the infrastructure needed to support them. There’s music, a food truck, chlidren’s activities and a giveaway worth $2,500.
Drive Electric NWA last year brought out hundreds of people to see the Ford F-150 Lightning as well as vehicles made by Canoo, Tesla, Rivian and Kia to learn about how electricity will overhaul the way people travel in the coming years.
