According to visitarizona.com, “Kingman is the heart of Route 66, with frequent classic car events, glowing neon signs, and an overall retro vibe that embraces the city’s vibrant past.”
With large events like the Annual Historic Route 66 Fun Run, which celebrates the nation’s longest stretch of “un-touched” Route 66, it’s easy to see how much car culture influences the nature of Kingman. While honoring Kingman’s past, DRIVE Electric Arizona will bridge the legacy of Route 66 with the future of automotive technologies that are electric vehicles.
