The DriveElectric team are always looking for opportunities to let more people experience a ride in an electric car and learn more about them. This month they have been out and about visiting staff at the Western Power Distribution (WPD) office locations around Derbyshire as part of the promotion for the ‘Electric Nation’ smart-charging project.
With demonstrations of the stunning Tesla Model S as well as the more affordable BMW i3 and Kia Soul EV, they were exciting events where many people got to experience their first ever drive of an electric car and find out how easy it could be for them to switch to electric motoring.
If you would like us to host an EV demonstration event at your workplace, contact us for more information.
Electric Nation was the worlds largest smart charging project to date which ran over an 18 month period. DriveElectric recruited 700 EV drivers to take part in the three-year project and managed the process of installing smart chargers at participants’ homes, as well as being responsible for all customer-facing activity.

Take an excursion to our events page to discover upcoming electric vehicle events and things to do… some we will be attending as ‘DriveElectric’ and some we’re heading to just for fun. We also post updates on prize draws and competitions we are running on this page (if you’re feeling lucky).
We’ve always found the EV community warm and welcoming so get involved if you can. As well as physical meet ups there are great EV owners groups on Facebook (the BMW i3 UK group on Facebook is particularly useful and chatty!) and there’s lots of activity on twitter too, so either virtually or ‘in real life’ we hope to see you there.
