Hamilpalooza EV Drive and Ride

With high gas prices, are you curious about electric vehicles? Join Electric Vehicle Association of Ohio volunteers 1-6pm August 22 at Hamilpalooza, Hamilton’s family-friendly summer event with food trucks, a petting farm, live music, shopping and—new in 2026—an electric vehicle drive & ride!

Hamilpalooza is free. The location is Marcum Park in Hamilton, Ohio, the county seat for Butler County, about 40 minutes from Cincinnati and Dayton.

Enjoy the festival’s food and entertainment, then come over to EVA of Ohio’s booth to drive or ride a variety of EVs, from pickup trucks to SUVs to crossovers and sedans. Test drive multiple EV models, or simply take your first EV ride. Learn what it’s like to live with an electric truck or car from people who really know—EV owners. Earn $10 cash for taking an EV test drive. (To test drive, bring your valid driver’s license and sign a liability waiver.)
