ALL VEHICLES WELCOME – NOT JUST EVS!

Join us for E.T. and EV Night at the Drive-In! Stroll through a showcase of electric vehicles, enjoy wood-fired pizza and Reese’s Pieces, then settle in for a nostalgic screening of E.T. under the stars.

From 6:30 to sunset, explore a variety of electric vehicle models on display. Ask actual EV drivers questions, and learn why EVs are no longer science fiction—they’re fun, widely-available, affordable, and more down-to-earth than ever. Plug-In KC will have educational materials available to answer all your questions about transitioning to the future of transportation.

Then, settle in for a nostalgic drive-in screening of the Summer of 1982 classic – E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, complete with an intermission and exclusive EV trailer on the big screen. Throughout the evening, enjoy wood-fired pizza, cooked to order from the 451 Pizza food truck, who will also be serving a special themed treat – Reese’s Pieces, of course!

Whether you drive a gas car, a hybrid, or an all-electric — all cars and ages are welcome for this family-friendly evening under the stars. $10 per person, purchase your tickets here.

Please note: no electric vehicle charging stations will be available at the location on this event.
