EV Me Out to the Ballgame

Drive Electric Dayton Partners with Dayton Dragons for Annual ‘EV Me Out to the Ballgame’

Drive Electric Dayton (DED), a local non-profit organization promoting the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Miami Valley, is gearing up for its fourth annual EV Me Out to the Ballgame, presented in partnership with the Dayton Dragons, on Saturday, July 19, at Day Air Ballpark in downtown Dayton.

From 5 to 7 p.m., a variety of EVs will be on display in Don Crawford Plaza, adjacent to Day Air Ballpark. Members of Drive Electric Dayton who own the EVs will be on hand to answer questions about their vehicles, as well as share their experiences driving, charging and maintaining electric vehicles. In 2024, nearly 50 electric vehicles took part in the event.

In conjunction with the event, specially priced tickets to that evening’s Dragons game against the Great Lakes Loons are available and may be purchased online. A portion of the proceeds from these ticket sales help fund Drive Electric Dayton’s education initiatives, ride-and-drive events, and community outreach events.

Drive Electric Dayton is also seeking EV owners to participate in EV Me Out to the Ballgame. Owners interested in displaying their vehicle at the event should contact DED President Rap Hankins at rap.hankins@driveelectricdayton.com or 937-239-7124 by July 12. EV owners participating in the event will receive two free tickets to that evening’s Dragons game.

“We’re excited to once again partner with the Dayton Dragons for this popular showcase event,” says Rap Hankins, President of Drive Electric Dayton. “This is an excellent way to learn more about electric vehicles and enjoy an evening out at one of Dayton’s premier attractions. Transportation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the Miami Valley, and EVs offer a clean and sustainable alternative. Now more than ever, events like EV Me Out to the Ballgame help raise awareness about EVs and empower our community to make a positive impact.”

EV Me Out to the Ballgame is sponsored by the Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council (SOPEC).
