Who We Are

DRIVE Electric Arizona is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) across Arizona. Governed by an all-volunteer board of directors, we work with individuals, utilities, legislators, dealerships, and other stakeholders to eliminate barriers to EV adoption. Our mission ensures that all communities in Arizona—urban, rural, Native, and disadvantaged—benefit from the transition to electric transportation.
