Myths Busting Myths
There’s a myth out there and the new Electric For All public education campaign powered by Veloz is here to bust it!
Sasquatch, Martians, a unicorn and the Tooth Fairy all climb into an EV. No, it’s not a joke. For our brand new, hilarious Electric For All campaign, we rounded up Sasquatch, a family of Martians, a unicorn and the Tooth Fairy to build on the growing public interest for EVs and help overcome the “mythical” barriers to EV adoption. Featuring live-action, practical and visual effects that bring well-known myths to life, the hilariously clever video spots were directed by Eric André — stand-up comedian, actor, producer, television host and writer most known for his Netflix movie “Bad Trip” and his comedy series “The Eric André Show.”
Campaign Ad Spots
From inception to execution, this campaign aims to reach diverse and historically under-served communities where they are to educate, inspire and dispel the myths holding people back from choosing to go electric — whether that’s to own, rent or ride share in an EV. In addition to helping overcome the mythical barriers to EV adoption, ElectricForAll.org also provides innovative consumer tools to make going electric easy!
Over the last decade, broad awareness of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) has dramatically increased; however, many questions remain. Electric For All, powered by Veloz, is on a mission to educate the public about the many benefits of going electric and bust these common EV myths for good!
Sign the National Going Electric Pledge
New this year, Veloz partnered with Generation180 to dramatically increase electric vehicle purchase intent with the new National Going Electric Pledge. The collaborative effort encourages individuals across the country to commit to making their next car electric by raising awareness and accelerating Americans’ broad support for electric vehicles.
Meet Our Campaign Partners
Veloz — the power behind Electric For All — was awarded a California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development’s (GO-Biz) ZEV Consumer Awareness Grant to bring partner organizations together in an effort to further their local work in the EV space while also spreading the statewide Electric For All message far and wide. Check out how each of our campaign partners are making the Electric For All goal a reality and get involved!

Charge Across Town
Charge Across Town (CAT) works directly with consumers, community organizers, local government and the automotive industry across California to educate and get people excited about purchasing, driving and charging electric vehicles. CAT’s approach is to produce fun, user-friendly events in a non-sales environment to allow people to ask questions, talk to EV owners, learn about incentives and take EVs out for a test-drive. Data shows that when people can get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle and take it out for a spin, they are more likely to purchase an EV.
