It's National Drive Electric week, so CPS energy and a variety of partners invited drivers to check out a showcase of electric vehicles.

They had a setup on Saturday at the Pearl Stable near downtown.

National Drive Electric week is the nation's largest celebration of plug-in electric vehicles.

It's also CPS Energy's largest electric vehicle education effort of the year where the public can learn about fuel-saving and performance benefits of driving electric.

"What we want to do is make sure that San Antonio knows that CPS Energy, the City of San Antonio and AACOG all support electrification, we support our customers electrifying and we're here to make sure the future of San Antonio is electric."

Participants got to test drive electric vehicles on a pre-determined route to allow drivers to learn about the vehicles in real-world environments that call for quick acceleration, breaking and pitstops with charging stations to demonstrate how the vehicles work.
