Event Report

Drive Electric Cincinnati's first ride & drive at Great Parks' Earth Day celebration at Winton Woods Harbor was a success!  The weather was sunny but breezy, making our handouts try to fly away.  We had exciting new EVs for test drive including Hyundai Ioniq 6, Kia EV9, Chevy Blazer EV, and the re-engineered Tesla Model 3.  A total of 42 people took rides or test drives in the nine EVs available for test drive.  Plus, we had on display a towing-capable BMW PHEV (BMW X5 xDrive45e) and a Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck.  The Lightning had already provided backup power to the owner's house three times during the first year of ownership.

Huge thanks to all our owner-volunteers and to the companies providing both staff and ride & drive cars: McCluskey Chevrolet, EVentures Rentals, Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati, and BMW of Cincinnati North.

Event Description

 

Join us for an Electric Vehicle (EV) Showcase and Ride & Drive while celebrating Earth Day with Great Parks at Winton Woods Harbor.  Enjoy family fun and learn about sustainable practices such as recycling, composting, conservation, reducing waste, habitat restoration, and promoting a cleaner environment.

Check out a variety of EV models from local EV owners and dealers.  We will have on display a Ford F-150 Lightning and a BMW X5 xDrive45e PHEV.  For test drive we expect:

  • Tesla Model Y
  • Tesla Model 3
  • Hyundai Ioniq 6
  • Hyundai Ioniq 5
  • Mercedes EQB
  • BMW i4
  • Chevy Bolt EUV
  • Chevy Blazer EV
  • Kia EV9

Climb in an EV, have the kids look for the charge port instead of the tail pipe, and get your EV questions answered.  Take an EV ride or test drive.  Experience the smooth, quiet acceleration and see for yourself what people are talking about!  Ride in multiple EV models to compare.

If you are an EV owner, press the "Participate" button to let us know if you’d like to help staff our booth or bring your EV for Showcase (static display) or ride & drive.  Directions: Turn off Winton Road onto Lakeview Drive, then take your first right to enter Winton Woods Harbor.  After the security booth, the Drive Electric Cincinnati tent will be on the grass of the median in front of you.  Turn left.  First right is for ride & drive cars reserved parking.  We might have an extra space or two.  If you would like to showcase your EV, pull in and ask.  Otherwise, we don't have reserved EV spaces; general parking starts on the second right.
