MEETINGS

The Tucson Electric Vehicle Association, unless otherwise noted, meets the morning of the third Saturday of each month from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. Anyone with an interest in electric vehicles is welcome to attend and converse at meetings, although you need to be a paying TEVA member to participate in votes. 

Meetings typically encompass a short introduction of attending members and guests, a rundown of current electric vehicle news and topics pertaining  to clubs activities. We also occasionally host guests speakers, including government and industry representatives, who provide Q & A sessions regarding timely local and regional EV-related topics. Following the meeting, we often retreat to the meeting place parking area, to see who is driving what.
