Tesla Owners: Check out National Drive Electric Week
Last year, we were proud to be part of National Drive Electric Week locally here in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This celebration is a great way to introduce others to the benefits of driving electric. In addition, it's a fantastic way to also introduce other electric vehicle (EV) owners to the unique advantages of driving a Tesla. And, it's always fun to meet up with others in the Tesla community. We've been attending National Drive Electric Week events for years and we encourage you to find a local event near you and sign up to attend. If you want to come and visit us, we'll actually be at two different Florida-based National Drive Electric Week events this year!

Last year, we had 219 guests and 49 plug-in electric vehicles (having driven a total of 818,076 electric miles) at the Ft. Lauderdale event. Tesla Model S owners came out in full force. Many were long-time customers of EVANNEX and loyal members of the fantastic Florida Tesla Enthusiasts Club — some special guests showed up including Owning Model S author and "News from the Frunk" host, Nick Howe, and, Brooks Weisblat, owner of Drag Times, who has some of the fastest published drag race Tesla track times (and yes, he's soon getting a P100D). Check out some of the festivities from last year...

National Drive Electric Week (NDEW) this year runs from September 10th - 18th, 2016, and it's a nationwide celebration to heighten awareness of today's widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of driving electric. If you'd like to check us out, we're bringing some EVANNEX giveaways, aftermarket Tesla accessories, and premiering a surprise new product. We'll be at two locations this year, information follows below...
