Knoxville Drive Electric Festival Returns for 2024 – Bigger and Better!

Due to the effects of Hurricane Helene stalling over Tennessee, the Knoxville Drive Electric Festival will be postponed until October 12, 10am-3pm.

Knoxville’s Drive Electric Festival is back, and it’s set to be the largest electric vehicle (EV) event in the Southeast! Last year, it was the top regional event among nearly 300 during National Drive Electric Week (NDEW), and this year promises to be even bigger. With over 100 electric vehicles on display, a Ride & Drive area, live music, kids zone, food trucks, and more, this free festival is packed with fun for everyone.

Attendees can explore the cost savings, range, power, batteries, infrastructure  and smooth, quiet rides that EVs offer. Over 40 models, including the latest electric vehicles, will be showcased by owners and local dealers, and some will even be available for test drives. The festival’s music stage, powered by a Ford F-150 Lightning, adds to the excitement. Whether you’re driving or riding, if it’s electric, you’ll find it here—from trucks to cars to motorcycles, even e-bikes.

The 2024 Knoxville Drive Electric Festival will take place on Saturday, September 28th, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Pellissippi State Community College Hardin Valley Campus. For more information and to stay updated, visit the event page at: https://driveelectricweek.org/event?eventid=4180.

The event is hosted by the Knoxville Electric Vehicle Association, Drive Electric Tennessee, and Pellissippi State Community College. National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration organized by Plug In America, the Electric Vehicle Association, the Sierra Club, Drive Electric USA, and EV Hybrid Noire.

Come see the future of transportation and be part of one of the top EV events in the country!
