Meet

MNEVOwners provides a forum to meet with EV owners, share your experiences, ask questions and just enjoy connecting with others. People shift to driving electric for many reasons, and it is good to learn from different viewpoints. Meetings are also a great place to see new vehicle makes and models.

Learn

New technologies, new vehicles and new ways to power your drive. There are so many new things constantly happening in this industry and many of them affect the ways we choose, charge and use our vehicles. We will have presentations and new discussion topics at each meeting.

Educate

As EV owners, we can make a difference by simply sharing our experiences with the general public and key stake-holders. Please see the calendar below for upcoming events and sign up for the ones that fit your schedule. You don't have to be an expert on all things EV, just share why and how you drive electric.

MNEVO meeting, 2026 Legislative session and regulatory update Tuesday Feb 24

The 2026 Minnesota legislative session officially starts next week and even though EV related topics are most likely not on the top of the agenda there will for sure be EV bills developed and introduced during this session. At this meeting we will hear from Anjali Bains, Managing Director, Transportation, Fresh Energy and John Berns, contract lobbyist with Fresh Energy on what we can expect at the Minnesota Legislature this session. They will share information about legislative priorities, process and outcome of Electricity as a Vehicle Fuel Working Group, EV registration fee reform efforts, and how we can lay groundwork now for 2027 action. Spoiler alert: EV owners can have an impact by reaching out to your state Rep and Senators to share how you’ve been impacted by higher EV registration fee.
After that we will follow to get some regulatory updates from Nick Haeg, Senior Associate, Electric Vehicles, Fresh Energy. There are some dockets at PUC about Minnesota Power multifamily and public charging rebates, Xcel Transportation Electrification Plan. We will also learn what are ECO program rebates.
Join us to stay up to date and learn how you can help.
