Batteries & Brews

Batteries & Brews is our bi-monthly gathering for EV owners and enthusiasts. Whether you are a seasoned owner, a newbie or considering going electric, this will be an opportunity to hang out and learn from each other, as well as stay informed about Drive Electric RVA's outreach and advocacy activities. We'll also invite a guest speaker to share something interesting about transportation electrification.
This month's guest speaker is Jesse MacLelland, a Ford F-150 Lightning owner. MacLelland not only has personal experience with EVs, he has advocated for fleet electrification at VirginIa Commonwealth University and at his current role in the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.
Join us in-person on the third Wednesday of every other month from January to November. We'll be in the backroom of The Answer Brewpub. Come early at 5:30 PM to show off your electric vehicle and see other cool rides on display and talk to their owners. Stay for the conversation and enjoy the craft beers and Vietnamese-inspired cuisine starting at 6 PM.
