Join in the festivities for Drive Electric Month and Sun Day events this weekend, featuring electric vehicles and solar energy!
On the autumnal equinox of September 21st, 2023, the world will mark a significant day as the United Nations' annual general meeting coincides with Sun Day, an event championed by environmentalist Bill McKibben. This year marks the 15th anniversary of Sun Day, an occasion dedicated to celebrating advancements in solar power and electrification.
Sun Day events are taking place across the US, Canada, Mexico, and beyond, with global participation from Europe, Canada, Australia, Africa, and more. The event's reach extends to online events as well. In the United States, a notable event will be held in Whittier, CA on September 20th, featuring test drives, an electrified home tour, and an eco scavenger hunt.
Events vary in size and format, with some organised as rallies or teach-ins, while others will be sustainability fairs, bike rides, or sustainable home tours. Some events will also feature live music, family-friendly activities, food trucks, and more.
During these events, prospective electric vehicle (EV) buyers will have the opportunity to talk with EV owners about the experience of owning an electric car. This interaction is designed to provide insights into the practicalities and benefits of owning and operating an EV.
Solar power, now the cheapest form of energy available on the planet, is at the heart of Sun Day. The world has access to more than enough solar energy to power all of our electricity needs, making it a crucial source of renewable energy. However, the current US administration is reportedly attacking this form of clean energy, potentially hindering its widespread adoption.

For those considering solar power, EnergySage offers a free service that connects you with pre-vetted installers to help make the transition to solar energy easier. It's worth noting that the 30% federal solar tax credit is ending this year, making now a good time to go solar.
Drive Electric Month, organised by Plug In America, Electric Vehicle Association, EVHybridNoire, Drive Electric USA, and the Sierra Club, is also happening concurrently. This event features nearly 200 online and in-person events celebrating electric vehicles.
Unfortunately, none of the cities that organised a Drive Electric Week event on September 20, 2023, outside the USA are explicitly listed in the available search results. However, the map and list of events for Drive Electric Month are available on the Drive Electric Month website.
In conclusion, Sun Day and Drive Electric Month provide an excellent opportunity to celebrate the strides made in solar power and electrification, and to learn more about these technologies. Whether you're interested in solar power, electric vehicles, or both, these events offer a platform for education, interaction, and inspiration.
