What is the Oregon electric vehicle association?

The Oregon Electric Vehicle Association (OEVA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit all volunteer group of EV Enthusiasts and EV Owners of all makes and models, and an independent chapter of the national Electric Vehicle Association. Intrigued by the EV revolution and want to find out more about us? Check out our Membership page.

See what we're planning on our Events page. We help organize and staff the Drive Electric display area at the Oregon International Auto Show each winter, and we host a Drive Electric Earth Month (DEEM) event in the spring and National Drive Electric Month (NDEM) event in the fall. At these events you can talk with experienced EV owners who can answer your questions from their personal experience and show personal EVs. Some of us have basic, economy EVs. Many of us have technically advanced vehicles, computers on wheels,  and we can invite you inside and take the time to show you how this new technology has made driving safer, more reliable, and less stressful. We also have meetings every month at EV businesses in the Portland area where we talk about EVs, learn about EVs, and generally have a pleasant time.

Our DEEM and NDEM Test Drive & Information Expo events include interesting presentations on a wide range of EV topics for beginners to experts. We've collected these presentations on the Videos page.

We are all about sharing our EV knowledge from our own experience. Check out the Stories pages, where our members tell their stories of living with an EV instead of a gas car.

You will be amazed at the number of fully electric vehicles available. Extensive information about them is compiled on the Cars page. 

Have questions about EVs? See our Ask page where you can submit questions for our EV experts to answer, and eventually browse a collection of the best questions and answers.

The About page has information about the 2025 OEVA Board and members doing Special Projects for the association.
