The State of Vermont, Buildings & General Services (BGS), invites you to our annual Ride and Drive event on September 24, 2025, at 136 State Street in Montpelier, from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. This year’s event is open to anyone interested in electric vehicles and will feature a delicious selection of local food trucks, as well as raffle prizes for event participants.

The event will offer opportunities to drive an electric vehicle, showcase different makes and models of EVs, charging demonstrations, and EV owners who are excited to share their experiences. Please note that only state employees will be allowed to drive the state-owned vehicles, but we encourage everyone to attend and take part in this important initiative. If you want to showcase your EV, please register as a participant before the event. We ask that drivers be present for at least part of the event to engage with attendees interested in EVs.

Representatives from Drive Electric Vermont will be on hand to discuss different makes and models, as well as the rebates and incentives available for Vermonters interested in purchasing EVs and home EV charging stations. We hope that you will join us for a fun afternoon and take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn more about electric vehicles.
