  • National Drive Electric Month (NDEM) starts on Friday, Sept. 11 and runs through Oct. 12, bringing EV rides, test drives, showcases, and community conversations about all the benefits of driving electric.
  • For the third time, the Global EV Alliance is asking respondents around the world to take their EV Driver Survey. Do you drive electric? Help ensure that the voice of EV drivers are heard.
  • Our partnership with bold.org, along with the dedicated support of Chris Celek, Aaron Choate, and the national EVA board, brought the Wisconsin EVA scholarship to life.

  • EVA chapters collectively hold enormous experience, recruiting members, running events, working with dealerships, and everything in between. Whatever challenge your chapter is facing, another chapter has probably dealt with it. This session was designed to surface that institutional knowledge and put it to work.
  • I began promoting and building out EV infrastructure when it was almost nonexistent in Kentucky. Now, I work for Solclusion Energy Group, and am extremely proud of what we’ve done. As a company, we are not only putting in EV chargers, but also making a real difference in our communities.
