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.
MN EV Owners Party at White Bear Mitsubishi
White Bear Mitsubishi's general manager and owner Richard Herod III has invited us to celebrate the arrival of the new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV at his dealership, and as I tend to say, “If you throw a party and want EV owners there, you can count on us.” 😊
I met Richard for the first time in 2010 at the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society’s monthly meeting, where I was doing a presentation about EVs and he was showing the Mitsubishi i-MiEV to attendees. We had a good discussion about the opportunities that EVs provide, and Richard was really excited to be able to play a key role in this transition. Since then, White Bear Mitsubishi has been one of the leading Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV dealers in the country and has even set some sales records. Now, over 12 years after he started this journey, Richard has invited us to join him and his team at their dealership to celebrate the arrival of the brand-new Outlander PHEV. Join us on January 12th 6-8PM for the celebration. There will be food, drinks, celebratory speeches, Outlander PHEV show and tell and opportunities for test drives. You will need to sign up for this event so we can prepare properly. In case you sign up and can’t come, please let us know so we will have as accurate headcount as possible.
