SEDONA, Ariz. – The city of Sedona and Drive Electric Arizona invite all northern Arizona residents to attend the second annual Electric Vehicle Ride and Drive event on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the parking lot next to the Sedona Community Pool to learn more about electric vehicle (EV) ownership and have the opportunity to ride in or drive some of the most innovative electric vehicles on the market.
Between 15 and 25 EV owner volunteers will be attending the event to answer questions from the public, offering up their vehicles for display, and allowing their vehicles to be driven along a predetermined route in Sedona.
To drive an EV, participants must bring a valid driver’s license. Licenses will not be required for those who only wish to ask questions or take a ride in an EV as a passenger. Registering for the event is not required but is highly recommended and can be completed at: https://www.driveelectricaz.org/events#!event/2025/12/13/sedona-ev-ride-drive
“Our EV owners are eager to answer questions and share their personal stories in a casual environment. We aren’t selling anything; we simply want to share our love of EVs with others,” said Co-Founder and Vice President of Drive Electric Arizona Peter Culin.
“With there being an action item in Sedona’s Climate Action Plan to advocate for EV adoption, the Sustainability Department is excited to offer all northern Arizona residents the opportunity to test drive an EV and learn more about what they have to offer. Overall, EV’s are safer, handle better on the road, reduce local air and noise pollution, and over the lifetime of vehicle ownership, can often turn out to be cheaper compared to their gas counterparts,” said Sustainability Coordinator Zach Schwarz.
Several partners will host informational displays, including Valley of the Sun Electric Vehicle Association, Arizona Public Service (APS), Solar United Neighbors, Clean Air Arizona and the city of Sedona’s Sustainability Department.
The Sedona Community Pool is at 570 Posse Ground Rd. Questions about the event can be directed to Schwarz at ZSchwarz@Sedonaaz.gov or 928-203-5123.
