Plug-in to National Drive Electric Week

Tap into the plug-in experiences of electric vehicle (EV) owners and check out their cars at more than 300 locations in coast-to-coast events during National Drive Electric Week from September 14-22.

To find an event in the U.S. and Canada, search Drive Electric Week using your city or zip code to locate the closest event. Most events are free.

Last year, Plug In America launched the PlugStar EV Shopping Assistant to help consumers learn more about driving electric, find the best EV for their needs and connect with a local dealer in their area.

In the Kansas City area, Evergy (formerly KCP&L) is offering a $3,500 discount off a 2019 Nissan Leaf and a $1,000 discount off a 2019 Chevy Bolt.
