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.
MNEVO June meeting: Leaf battery upgrades and electric motorcycles
MNEVO June meeting: Leaf battery upgrades and electric motorcycles
Many of you know Stew Roberts from The Foreign Service https://theforeignservicemn.com/ . He has been working with EVs for over 15 years and lately has started to do Nissan Leaf battery upgrades as well. He has invited us to his shop, where he will share more information about EV batteries and how Leaf battery upgrades are done.
Our second topic at this meeting will be electric motorcycles. I recently learned about a local startup called Volta Motorcycles https://voltamotorcycle.com/ . This company was started by local young entrepreneurs who are working to build electric motorcycle conversions. They will join us to share more information about their vision and work. I would also like to invite all our members who ride an electric motorcycle to bring their bike there and share their experiences with others.
