Electrify Heartland is a coalition of community volunteers working to change the cultural and physical landscape to encourage electric vehicle adoption by fleets and the public. Our first exhibit as a coalition was Electric Avenue at the Kansas City International Auto Show in 2013 and was a huge success. Since then, we have hosted or helped out with 20+ displays or ride & drives, where friends, colleagues, neighbors and fleet operators can get up close and personal with EVs of all kinds.
