Chevrolet Takes Over Electric Avenue In Venice

VENICE, CA — People who are considering switching to driving an electric car will have the opportunity to test drive Chevrolet's electric vehicles ahead of National Drive Electric Week in Venice.

Chevrolet invited Los Angeles locals to Electric avenue on Sept. 22 to experience what it's like to drive an electric vehicle, and learn more about them from experts and local TikTok creator Nick Cho of Your Korean Dad.

"More people are considering going electric than ever before," Chevrolet spokesperson Shad Balch said. "According to a recent Consumer Reports survey, 71% of Americans have expressed interest in buying or leasing an EV. However, most have never driven an EV."

California recently announced a ban on the sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2035 to tackle climate change. National Drive Electric Week is celebrated nationwide to help raise awareness of the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Chevy will provide answers for those who want to know more about home and public charging as well as what it means to own an electric vehicle. Chevy's new family of electric vehicles, including the Blazer Ev and Equinox EV, will also be on Electric Avenue.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and those interested in attending can sign up here.
