What is Drive Electric Ohio?

Drive Electric Ohio, a statewide initiative of Clean Fuels Ohio, is dedicated to advancing the adoption of electric vehicles in our state.

We accomplish this – city by city – with the help of dedicated volunteers who organize ride and drive events and educate consumers about the advantages of electric cars.

At the same time, we work to create incentives and pro-EV legislation by engaging and educating electricity providers, policymakers, and political candidates about the economic and environmental benefits of electric vehicles.

We connect businesses, developers, and communities to resources they need to install electric charging stations, providing affordable, accessible charging for tenants, customers, and employees.
