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 about electric boats 11/9

Join our Facebook group

In November we will finally talk about electric boats. I’m sure many of you have seen videos of Candela’s record breaking c8 boat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTAtK5fxDWY which is just a beautiful machine, but you don’t necessarily need to pay several hundred thousand to be able to enjoy electric boating. At this meeting, we will hear how three of our members have approached this with different motors, batteries and even solar panels. Come and hear about their experiences. Our meeting is hosted by Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association in Rockford, MN, and we will also hear what kind of programs they have put together to support transportation electrification.
