Membership Benefits
LOCAL CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
We are so glad you are checking us out. You know the most common thing we hear about electric vehicles (EVs) is “they’re coming” or “that’s the way it’s going”. So the thing is, they are already here! And whether you are already an EV-owner or an aspiring EV owner or a maybe someday EV owner, we are glad you are here and hope you decide to join our organization. We truly believe in that old saying, “the more the merrier” and that definitely includes you.
ABOUT US
The Electric Vehicle Association of Oklahoma City (EVAOKC) is a non-profit supported by donations of those interested in furthering the adoption of electric vehicles. It is proudly a chapter of the National Electric Vehicle Association and provides a forum for EV owners and enthusiasts to connect, ask questions, share experiences and stay informed about EV topics and issues. EVAOKC works with private and government agencies, the public and even policy-makers to assist them in understanding the implications of adopting electric-powered transportation.
THE GOOD STUFF FOR OUR MEMBERS
ENGAGEMENT
EVAOKC provides a forum for you to meet with other EV owners and enthusiasts to share your experiences, ask questions, vet concerns and just enjoy the connecting with others. People transition to driving electric for many reasons and it’s good to hear their stories and, perhaps learn from the different viewpoints.
NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
We are the best EV-networking platform in Oklahoma…period! Networking with EV enthusiasts at events is just one of the benefits of joining EVAOKC. We will be participating in car shows, educational events, Lunch and Learn’s, Service Club programs and even lobbyists to tell the EV story. But, most of all, we want to get together to have fun at our free monthly meetings.
STAYING CURRENT
The EV space is definitely not standing still. Every day something is changing. There are new vehicles being launched, new technologies being introduced as well updates to existing technology and new ways to charge our EVs. EVAOKC is your gateway to keeping you informed of all these many new things constantly happening in our industry. We want our members to know what’s happening because it may affect the way you choose, charge or use your vehicle. We will have presentations and new discussion topics at every meeting along with social media updates to keep you in the know.
EDUCATE
As EV owners and enthusiasts, we can make a difference by simply sharing our experiences with the general public and key stake-holders. Please follow our calendar for our upcoming events. Sign up for the ones that fit your schedule. You may not think you are an expert on all things EV, but just sharing why and how you drive electric may make a tremendous difference to someone who hears your story.
