We are electric vehicle enthusiasts evangelizing the rapid adoption of EVs.
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 participate in public events focused on sustainability. And, finally, we are a resource for anyone who is looking to buy an EV.
