World Electric Vehicle (EV) Day is a global movement. It is a day of celebration of e-mobility and it is a day to shift the transition to sustainable transport with consumer, business and policy outcomes.
World EV Day was an initiative created by sustainability media company Green TV. The first World EV Day, in 2020, was a great success, and according to their website, since then, “World EV Day transitioned from being a campaign into a proper global movement.” World EV Day 2020 had a global audience reach of 1.9 billion people on TV, 197 million impressions on Twitter, and 21.8 million conversations on Facebook!
World EV Day also works alongside Green TV’s EV Summit to host high level business and policy events, bringing the world’s e-mobility leaders together to discuss the key narratives driving electrification and sustainable transport forwards.
This year, World EV Day was mentioned in the UK parliament, and celebrated by the White House’s top climate advisor.
