On September 13th, the Valley of the Sun EVA hosted a rally that was as sweet as it was memorable — the Ice Cream Edition. Friends, families, and fellow EV enthusiasts gathered to celebrate electric driving, cool off with frozen treats, and witness the much-anticipated debut of the Spirit of Arizona EV, a star of the evening that turned plenty of heads.

The rooftop setting proved the perfect stage. As the sun dipped low, it seemed to pause for us, spilling brilliant shades of gold and crimson across the sky. That sunset didn’t just light up the horizon — it cast a warm glow across our impressive lineup of electric vehicles, each one gleaming like it had been hand-picked for the show. The effect was dazzling, giving the rally an almost cinematic feel.

Guests laughed over frozen ice cream concoctions, swapping stories and savoring flavors that perfectly matched the joyful mood of the evening. Between the sparkle of the Spirit of Arizona EV, the glow of the sunset, and the sweetness of the gathering, this rally was a perfect reminder that our community isn’t just about cars — it’s about experiences worth savoring.
