Head down to the waterfront throughout July to learn all about electric vehicles (EVs). This event is a chance to:

  • Meet Plug’n Drive’s EV ambassadors & get answers to your EV questions
  • Learn about EVs through interactive displays about the environmental and economic benefits of driving electric
  • Test drive some of the latest EV models from leading manufacturers—both Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)—in a sales free educational environment
  • See an EV charging station showcase

Test drive bookings are available Thursday to Sunday throughout July (except July 20), with the official launch on July 1, 2023. Bookings are not required to test drive an EV, but are recommended to ensure availability.

Book a Test Drive

This event is being partially funded by Natural Resource Canada's Zero Emissions Vehicle Awareness Initiative to address gaps in awareness, increase knowledge, and improve public and industry confidence of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). 

The City is working towards ensuring the community is ready to meet the needs of current and future electric vehicle owners. Learn about the Electrify Barrie program.
