The Australian Electric Vehicle Association
The Australian Electric Vehicle Association Inc. (AEVA) is a non-profit organisation founded in 1973, comprising of individuals and organisations with an interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle technology.
Our purpose is to provide a forum for social and technical communication in the EV field, to create greater awareness of EVs and encourage their use, to foster further research and development in EV technology, and to be an official source of information on EVs in Australia.
My Electric Car
My Electric Car is a community information resource for electric cars and vehicles in Australia. The website highlights the various developments that are accelerating worldwide in the electric vehicle market. Although Australian oriented, MEC sees value in giving visitors a global perspective in this rapidly evolving space and hopes to stimulate interest, discussion and the uptake of EV transport.
EV World
EVWorld is one of the Internet’s longest running publications devoted to electric vehicle technology. Launched in 1998, historically we have covered a board range of EV types from bikes to buses to boats and beyond. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, we now are focusing our resources on promoting a more active mobility lifestyle through both EVWorld and ePEDALER.
