Greetings EAA members, subscribers and Electric Vehicle enthusiasts:

    Electric Auto Association is celebrating the successful conclusion of National Drive Electric Week (NDEW), now in its ninth year. NDEW was a coast to coast celebration of electric vehicles (EVs). There were 324 events hosted in all 50 states and 8 countries. Volunteers contributed thousands of hours and were led by hundreds of event organizers. Our EV Educators worked tirelessly to educate people who were new to electric vehicles. Many of these community gatherings gave people the experience of driving electric in test drives and ride-alongs. With our EV educators ready to engage in conversation, we created a high impact experience for new and used car buyers.

Organizationally, EAA is growing rapidly. In the last few months, we added chapters in New Jersey, Southern California, Oregon, Oklahoma, U.S. Virgin Islands and Utah achieving a total of 81 chapters across the U.S. and Canada. With this rapid growth, coupled with obstacles in the EV marketplace, we find ourselves at a new place in the history of our over 50 year-old non-profit. To step up to the challenges ahead in educating the public, we would like to share with you some ambitious new programs that will create an even larger present and future value to local communities and to the nation.
