“Drive Electric is Oklahoma’s largest gathering of electric vehicle owners. We’re excited about raising awareness of EVs across the region because we know that more electric vehicles on the road in Oklahoma translate to improved regional air quality and energy resiliency. This translates to improved quality of life and strengthened economy for Oklahoma.”
