Rick Denzien, founder of Zero Emission Musicians, honored for advancing EV adoption through innovative music and community initiatives in 2025 awards.

AMBLER, PA, UNITED STATES, October 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rick Denzien, multi-award-winning songwriter, producer, musician, educator, mentor and EV advocate, has been selected as a Finalist - EV Advocate for the 2025 PlugIn America Drive Electric Awards. This recognition highlights Denzien's innovative efforts in promoting electric vehicles (EVs) through music, community EAC (Environmental Advisory Council) events, and sustainable education, aligning with PlugIn America's mission to accelerate the adoption of plug-in vehicles for a cleaner future.

As the founder of Zero Emission Musicians (ZEM) and https://DriveTheFutureEV.com, Denzien has pioneered unique initiatives that blend artistry with environmental advocacy. His annual National Drive Electric Month & Drive Electric Earth Month events in Ambler, PA, draw hundreds of participants to explore EVs, solar integration, and fossil-fuel-free living, featuring vehicle showcases, ride-and-drives, expert discussions, and live music.

Denzien's original songs, like those promoting zero-emission lifestyles, have inspired audiences worldwide, while his eco-friendly https://DenLeeMusicSchool.com—powered by solar—serves as a model for sustainable business practices.

“This finalist nod is a testament to the power of community and creativity in driving change,” said Denzien. “Through ZEM and our events, we're not just talking about EVs; we're showing how they lead to energy-resilient communities, cost savings, and a healthier planet.”

“Some advocacy is very easy. As a host I was able to get Airbnb to add EV charge stations as a guest amenity to their app. A small thing but now hosts everywhere worldwide can offer this amenity to all guests and that is a big thing.”

The Drive Electric Awards, presented by PlugIn America, honor leaders in EV education, outreach, and innovation.
Finalists are chosen by a committee of experts, with winners to be announced on Thursday, October 28, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. EST via Instagram Live. Denzien's work exemplifies the awards' spirit, having organized dozens of events that educate on EV benefits like lower maintenance costs, instant torque, and zero tailpipe emissions, while fostering transitions to solar-powered homes and businesses.

He has personally taken over 5,000 people for rides in his EVs since 2013.
