The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently launched  My Electric Ride: An EV Transportation Video Challenge, an exciting prize competition that encourages people to share their personal experiences with electric transportation.  Entries due January 23.

The challenge aims to showcase real-world experiences of those who use electrified transportation in everyday life and help inform the public about more sustainable transportation. Interested participants are asked to submit a short (1- to 2-minute) video for a chance to win up to $3,000. 

Participants can submit videos in one of three categories-- 

-- Personal Mobility: Electric 2- and 3-wheel personal mobility devices such as e-bikes, e-trikes, e-scooters, or e-cargo bikes. 

-- Electric Vehicles: Electric vehicles such as cars, trucks, or SUVs. 

-- Electric Buses: Electric buses such as school buses, shuttle buses, or transit buses. 

The videos will be judged on their creativity, originality, and effectiveness in conveying the positive aspects of electric transportation.

EPA will select up to nine winning videos, with each of the three categories having a first, second, and third place winner. Selected videos may be featured on EPA's website and social media channels. 

Information about the video challenge and instructions on how to submit a video can be found on EPA’s EV Transportation Video Challenge webpage.
