Electrify Your Ride is a national campaign working to make electric vehicles more accessible for all. We host educational events, empower EV owners to become EV ambassadors in their communities, partner with regional and national influencers, and support clean energy policy.
Whether you’re just learning about electric vehicles or you’re looking to help spread the word, you can find a way to plug in below and help accelerate the arrival of a 100% clean energy future.
National Going Electric Pledge
We just launched a new sweepstakes to – literally – get your motor running. Electric motor that is. The National Going Electric Pledge is a campaign to encourage all Americans to ‘say yes’ to making their next car, truck, or SUV electric. Help us accelerate broad support for electric vehicle driving by signing the Pledge and spreading the word.
Switching to an electric car is one of the most impactful things you can do to reduce carbon pollution. While over 15 million new vehicles were sold in the US last year, less than 6% were electric. You can help change that.
Research shows, when you take climate action, people you know are more likely to take action too. The Pledge Sweepstakes is open May 15 – September 30, 2023. We hope you sign the pledge today to make your ride electric.
ENTER HEREGeneration180 is working with the following promotional partners to help amplify the National Going Electric Pledge: EVHybridNoire, GreenLatinos, Veloz, Virginia Clean Cities, and Drive Electric USA, a cohort of Clean Cities Coalitions.

Take a look and see how you can be a voice for change in your community.
