PVEAA encourages a multi-modal approach to transportation, including walking, bicycling, transit use and driving battery-electric vehicles, in order to reduce the use of natural resources and minimize negative impacts on the environment.
Drive an EV now! The options are increasing: new EVs, such as the Tesla, the Tango and the Chevy Volt; used OEM EVs, such as the Ford Ranger EV and Toyota RAV4-EV; factory conversions, such as the Solectria Force-EV. Or you can convert your own vehicle from ICE to EV. See EV Discussion List www.evdl.org for EV information.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are an excellent option
as America weans itself from a petroleum-based transportation system.
See pluginamerica.org and calcars.org for details.
PVEAA is a chapter of the Electric Auto Association, a national advocacy organization which has promoted electric vehicles since 1967.
