PVEAA advocates sustainable transportation, particularly the use of battery-electric vehicles. Some of our members own EV conversions which they completed themselves or purchased privately. They generously share their expertise on EVs.
No major American auto manufacturer currently offers an EV for purchase, although some used OEM EVs are still available for private purchase. The best way to get an EV may be to obtain a used EV conversion or complete your own.
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (a conversion of a gas/electric hybrid) combines the benefits of electric propulsion with the extended range of a gasoline engine. They reduce the use of petroleum and offer some of the enjoyment of driving electric. pluginamerica.org and calcars.org are working to promote the development of PHEVs.
PVEAA is a chapter of the Electric Auto Association, a national advocacy organization which has promoted electric vehicles since 1967. Annual membership is $39. Please designate PVEAA as your chapter affiliation. For details, contact
