Join us to drive the change!
MN Electric Vehicle Owners (MNEVO) provides a forum for Minnesota plug-in vehicle (BEV and PHEV) owners to connect, share their experiences and learn more about EV related topics. We meet every second month in various locations. Our membership and meetings are free and open to anyone who owns or is interested in shifting to drive electric. MN EV Owners is a chapter of the National Electric Vehicle Association.





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.
Fall EV Cruise to Winona
MNEVO Fall EV Cruise to Winona Saturday, October 11
This month we have a treat that combines MN Scenic Byways, wonderful fall colors, many sights to see and experience on the way and back, plus a private tour of a great museum. I’m honored to announce that The Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona mmam.org has invited us to visit them on Saturday 10/11.
Schedule:
In the morning: Leave at the time that works for you. The earlier you get on the road, the more you can experience.
Morning-afternoon: Take family and friends with you and enjoy a leisurely drive and fall colors, with lunch at a nice restaurant along the way. Stay tuned for more information on recommended sights and stops for your trip.
1:00 - 2:00PM Social hour at the MMAM parking lot
2:00 - 3:30PM: Museum tour + more time to socialize
3:30 – Driving back home at your own pace, checking out any sights that you may have missed on the way to Winona.
Destination: The Minnesota Marine Art Museum, 800 Riverview Drive, Winona, MN 55987
We are not planning to organize group drives in either direction, but instead give people the flexibility to travel on their own schedule and check out the sights that they find interesting.
