EV owners, both new and experienced, joined together on Saturday, November 15th for our monthly rally at Raven’s View — a perfect mix of community, conversation, and clean-transportation enthusiasm.

Raven’s View provided a relaxed, welcoming venue with a beautiful desert-mountain backdrop — ideal for EV owners to connect, share stories, and enjoy a social atmosphere. The air was cool and the sun bright and warm.

What Happened

The event featured a casual meetup where folks swapped EV-life stories and compared charging habits.

Guests mingled, asked real-world questions, and got a firsthand sense of how smooth and social EV ownership can be — especially among supportive peers.

We experienced a diverse lineup of vehicles, including:

• BMW i4

• Cadillac Lyriq

• Ford Mustang Mach-E

• Kia EV6

• (2) Lucid Air

• Nissan Ariya

• (2) Rivian R1S
