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.

PURPOSES

(a) To advocate for, promote and support the conversion to and use of electric vehicles as a vital step in achieving a healthy and sustainable environment.
 (b) To provide a forum for individuals and businesses to share their experiences, assist owners and operators of electric vehicles, and to use their collective knowledge to educate each other and the public about the benefits and value of electric vehicles.
 (c) Present and participate in events to showcase electric vehicles and related technologies.
 (d) Collaborate with other organizations to promote electric vehicles.
 (e) Preserve artifacts and vehicles of significance to the history of electric vehicles to ensure these examples survive for appreciation by future generations.

The purpose of the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association is to promote and develop a general interest in the use of electric vehicle transportation as an alternative to the internal combustion engine.
