VEVA was registered Feb 1, 1988 under the Societies Act of British Columbia
as a Non-Profit Organization that
promotes the use of Battery Powered Electric Vehicles.
While our membership is drawn largely from the lower mainland we have members
from all over BC as well as other provinces and states.
Many of our members have built electric vehicles including passenger cars and bicycles.
We meet monthly to discuss current events, projects under development and to plan for
various events which we attend each year promoting the concepts of Electric Vehicles.
VEVA meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM (July and August excluded),
at various locations. VEVA is open to
membership by any individual or organization.
A one-year membership is only $25, ($10 for students enrolled in a full-time program).
"The purpose of the Society is to promote and develope a general interest in the use of electric vehicle transportation as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Electric propulsion is environmentally superior to alternative fuels such as natural gas, propane, gasolines, etc. in that it is clean, quiet, and more efficient.
The society will be a non-profit organization, will hold regular meetings to expand the knowledge of its members and will identify and pursue club projects that will encourage public acceptance of the Electric Vehicle for both Urban and Medical applications.
Electric Vehicle Rallys and Parades will be organized for local, national, and international participation. Participation in Electrical Trade Shows with Exhibits and information booths is also anticipated."
