We had another great evening with the AustinEV community at our July High Voltage Happy Hour on Thursday, July 17th at Hopsquad Brewing Co. in North Austin. About a dozen EV drivers and enthusiasts came out to connect, share ideas, and enjoy the laid-back setting.
💬 A Community Growing One Meetup at a Time
Our monthly happy hours are meant to be casual, welcoming spaces for anyone interested in electric vehicles—whether you’re an EV owner, curious about switching, or just want to chat with others in the community.
One of the recurring themes that came up during our conversations was how many factors are converging right now—from new EV models and federal/state incentives, to evolving infrastructure and broader policy shifts. This convergence is making it an especially important time to share information, ask questions, and explore the wide range of choices available to current and future EV owners. As we look ahead to the coming year, opportunities for collaboration, learning, and impact are only growing.
🔌 Meet Supersun Electrical Services
We were pleased to welcome Gabe and Jessie Lensing , the team behind Supersun Electrical Services. As a young Austin-based startup, Supersun is already making a mark in the EV space under the guidance of Gabe, a licensed master electrician with deep technical experience.
They’re also a Tesla-certified installer for EV charging and battery storage. What really stood out was their education-first approach—helping customers better understand home electrification options. And while they don’t focus on solar installations, they willget you solar-ready.
We’re excited to see how their thoughtful, customer-focused strategy develops—and glad to have them part of the AustinEV community!
🙌 New Member Spotlight: Roy Martz
A shoutout to Roy Martz, who recently joined AustinEV through our national chapter sign-up. Thanks for jumping in, Roy—we’re looking forward to seeing more of you at future events.
🔜 What’s Next?
We’ll be announcing the August meetup soon—expect another great venue in a different part of town as we continue rotating locations to include more of our members and support local businesses.

Earth Day ATX, Austin’s annual citywide Earth Day event, will return to the Huston-Tillotson University campus on Saturday, April 12th from 12 to 6 pm.
This family-friendly event is free and open to the public.
The festival will include hands-on activities for all ages, food, music, guided movement activities, conversations and exhibits.
AustinEV is proud to host the Mobility Ecosystem at Earth Day ATX this year as a microcosm of Austin’s transportation system that you can explore yourself.
We’ll have several examples of the EVs that are on the market today. We’ll have AustinEV members on hand to answer questions and share about what it’s like to drive electric!
(you can sign up to offer to display your vehicle when you add yourself as a volunteer!)
Learn about your options for rebates for home EV charging equipment and affordable public charging options as well as the options you have to earn tax credits on your 2025 EV purchases.
You’re encouraged to turn your thoughts into action, as we work towards supporting our Mobility Ecosystem in Austin.
To celebrate it, we are creating an electric vehicle (EV) road rally on Sunday, April 6th at 9:30 AM. The goal is to have some fun, even if you don’t have an electric vehicle. We will drive our EVs from Austin to another town. Along the way, Driver-Navigator teams will look out their windows to answer questions like:
“What color is the house on the corner of 5th and Main?”
“What animal is on the mailbox at 123 Main Street?”
The route (approximately 50 miles round trip) will take us to a restaurant where we can get lunch, review answers, and maybe do an EV trivia contest. AustinEV even offered to get some prizes.
Want to participate but don’t have an EV? We can match you onto a team.
Got an EV but not a Navigator? We can match someone without an EV onto your team.
*** this event has been rescheduled due to significant chances of severe weather in the forecasts for its original date – please join us on 4/27! ***
