This EVent was all about electric vehicles.  The utility, JEA, and Florida State Community Jacksonville (FSCJ) hosted the EV Car Show, EV Test Drives, and North Florida Electrathon Race.  North Florida's EV ecosystem was represented by:
  • School-sponsored, student-built, electrically powered vehicles that races - Electrathon Races
  • EV Car Show where current EV owners displayed and talked about EV ownership with potential EV owners
  • Eight Dealerships provided 25 new 2025 EVs for test drives
