EAA Silicon Valley is a chapter of the Electric Auto Association, a nonprofit organization formed in 1967 to promote the use of electrical vehicles as a viable transportation alternative that is efficient, economical, and ecological. We meet  monthly on the 3rd Saturday of the month, and host an annual EV Rally. Please see our Meetings page for monthly speakers, or join our Yahoo! Group for meeting announcements and other EV discussion. There are EAA chapters across the U.S., in Canada, and in Germany. Visit the national website for information on EVs, chapters, news, and EAA merchandise.

Electric Vehicles are on the Roads Today

Many people are not aware that Electric Vehicles are real today! They are more than just a future promise from automakers. Some EVs are production vehicles used as daily commuter cars while others are one-of-a-kind custom projects.

Checkout these videos to see some actual EV cars and trucks owned by Silicon Valley EAA members. Some interesting facts in these videos. Were you aware that Vacaville, CA may be the most EV-friendly town in America as shown by this "Back To the Future" ABC news report? At the other end of the state, our San Diego EAA chapter is educating high school teachers how to convert a normal gas car into an EV...

Come to one of the monthly EAA meetings in Palo Alto or the other EAA chapters in the SF bay area to learn more about these awsome EVs and what you can do to get one for yourself!

Now that the "Stimulus Bill" has been passed by Congress and the Senate, the New York Times is suggesting that a good way to spend some of the money is by "Going Postal for Plug-ins".

Check out the Plug In America effort to work with industry, environmental and national security organizations, and concerned citizens to revive plug-in auto production and give Americans the freedom to choose cars, trucks, and SUVs that are powered by cleaner, cheaper, domestic sources of energy.
