No more than 7000 tickets total will be sold. Two winners. Stunning odds.
12 tickets purchased so far!
Want to drive a Cybertruck? Or how about a brand-new Rivian EV truck or SUV? Or maybe a classic Tesla Model X Plaid with all the bells and whistles? We can help.
Join our raffle today! For the first time, we’re offering TWO electric vehicles to TWO DIFFERENT RAFFLE WINNERS. Second-place winner will get an Ioniq 5. Only 7,000 tickets total will be sold, giving you a 1-in-3,500 chance of winning a brand-new electric vehicle. This year’s raffle odds of winning a new EV have improved over last year by 57 percent!
All proceeds will benefit the Chesapeake Climate Action Network Action Fund (CCAN Action Fund). Our mission is to create a world where electric cars, wind farms, and rooftop solar power are the norm in society. If you win, you can kiss high gas prices goodbye today while helping us build a pollution-free world tomorrow. It’s a win, win, win.
This is the sixth annual electric car raffle sponsored by our scrappy little nonprofit. With your help, the CCAN Action Fund punches above its weight in the fight against climate change. Our goal is to create a world where electric transportation is affordable and available to everyone. These flashy prizes help us raise money for that fight.
If you’re the lucky first-place winner, you get to choose the vehicle you want. You can build your own Rivian R1S SUV or R1T truck (you choose the color, tires, etc). Or choose a build‑your‑own Tesla Model X Plaid. Or, finally, pick the hottest new EV on the market: the famous Cybertruck. It gets even better: we’ll cover all your federal and state taxes, bringing the full first-place prize value at over $[x].
But wait! There’s more. For the first time ever, we’re offering a second-place prize of a brand-new Ioniq 5. Covering your taxes again, this has a value of over $[x]. That’s two ways to win, all for a raffle ticket of just $200. Again, we’re only selling 7,000 tickets. And all proceeds go to fund our non-profit mission to pass public policies at local, state and national levels to fight global warming head-on.
Ticket buyers:
Win your dream Cybertruck, Rivian R1S or R1T, or Tesla Plaid. You decide. Tickets are just $200. TWO WINNERS. First-place winner gets to pick. Second-place winner gets Ioniq 5.
The first-place winner will get to choose between any of these vehicles, for any price up to $[x]!

Anyone can win! Last year’s winner was Julian of Massachusetts. He told us he loves his Tesla Model X Plaid because he doesn’t have to go to any gas stations—and was glad to participate in the raffle for the climate because “humans only have one collective home. It’s important we make it last for generations to come.”
Thanks to Julian and other ticket buyers, CCAN Action Fund is able to do great work year round. This spring, we helped pass policies for shared solar and green banks in Virginia, and electrified homes in Washington, DC. We’re also working to bring more offshore wind to Maryland and pressuring Congress to unleash the clean energy revolution with historic transmission investments.

What The Funds Will Be Used For
CCAN Action Fund will use the funds raised from the raffle to advocate for public policies that fight climate change across the Chesapeake region and nationwide. The United States recently became the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which means record amounts of the powerful greenhouse gas methane are leaking all over the world. We will work to stop the LNG expansion. We’re also pressuring the D.C. Public Service Commission (PSC) to REJECT a multi-billion dollar pollution plan which would spend $4.5 billion ratepayer dollars on polluting methane gas infrastructure. We will also continue advocating for building electrification, public transit, electing climate champions, and helping those most vulnerable to the consequences of a changing climate. Learn more about our work.
