Meet an EV-SA Ambassador: The Reyes Family
The EV-SA Ambassador Program is a community outreach effort led by DRS to help residents learn more about electric vehicle ownership through real, local experience. The program connects community members with EV owners who share what it is actually like to drive electric, answer common questions, and help clear up myths and misconceptions.
Through the program, more than 35 Ambassadors support community events, offer input on local charging and electric mobility infrastructure, and help the City build a more informed and connected EV community.

Is an EV Right for You?
Wondering whether an EV is right for you? It can feel confusing at first. Between charging, range, costs, and the different types of electric vehicles, there is a lot to sort through. But San Antonio residents are not figuring it out alone. There are already 26,174 EVs on the road in San Antonio, representing 1.5% of the light-duty vehicles in the city, showing that more people are making the switch and exploring what electric mobility can look like in everyday life (Atlas Public Policy).
To help make the switch easier, DRS offers resources that can answer common questions and help residents learn at their own pace. Understand your options, weigh what makes sense for your household, and share reliable information with your community so more people can make informed decisions about whether an EV is the right fit.
