*Event Update: Think BIG is still scheduled despite expected rain.  Event activities will take place on the lower level of the garage at 5001 Dawes Ave. Alexandria, VA 22311, and is completely covered. Please see RAIN DAY LAYOUT attached below.

Join Arlington County’s Initiative to Rethink Energy and the City of Alexandria at our first ever electric vehicle (EV) and sustainable technologies showcase! Get inspired by seeing a variety of electric cars, scooters, bikes, motorcycles, police cars, buses, trucks and information on other alternative fuel technologies.

Test drive an electric vehicle! The event will include a Ride and Drive hosted by Plug In America that will give attendees the chance to get first-hand experience driving an EV. Complete a short Ride and Drive survey after your test drive and you will be entered into a drawing to win a Clipper Creek Level 2 home charger!

Learn firsthand from EV owners and industry professionals about EVs and how easy it is to get your home set up for charging. See the newest EV technology and what is currently available in the marketplace. Think BIG is more than cars, see a variety of electric mobility technologies.
