Our mission is to be evangelists for EV adoption and to help the state meet the goals set forth in the Multi-state ZEV Action Plan.

We do this by interacting with people in EV showcases and ride and drive events. We advocate for and help draft EV-friendly legislation.

We track and analyze EV adoption in the State of CT.

We participate in public events focused on sustainability. And, finally, we are a resource for anyone who is looking to buy an EV.
