Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association

HISTORY

VEVA was registered Feb 1, 1988 under the Societies Act of British Columbia as a non-profit organization that promotes the use of electric vehicles. While our membership is drawn largely from the Lower Mainland we have members from all over BC as well as other provinces and states. In the new electric car age (circa 2010) most of our members are owners and drivers.  Prior to that time many of our members built conversion electric vehicles including passenger cars and bicycles, and some still do. We meet monthly to discuss current events, electric vehicle regulations and policy, projects under development and to plan for various events which we attend each year promoting the benefits of going electric.

PURPOSE

"The purpose of the Society is to promote and develop a general interest in the use of electric vehicle transportation as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Electric propulsion is environmentally superior to alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, gasolines, etc. in that it is clean, quiet, and more efficient.

The society will be a non-profit organization, will hold regular meetings to expand the knowledge of its members and will identify and pursue club projects that will encourage public acceptance of the Electric Vehicle for both Urban and Medical applications.

Electric Vehicle Rallies and Parades will be organized for local, national, and international participation.”
