AustinEV at the 2022 Electrify Expo and EVA Membership Drive

Thanks to the organizers of the Electrify Expo, AustinEV will have a booth at the show this weekend!  Come visit us if you are attending!  We’ll have some AustinEV and EVA window clings and lapel pins you can grab if you want them.  We’d just love to get a chance to say hi – it has been a while since we’ve all seen each other in person.

Fri – Nov 11: Industry Day 8am-5pm

Sat- Nov 12 : 10am-5pm

Sun- Nov 13: 10am-5pm

Want to volunteer?

If you would like to volunteer to help staff the booth, please let me know ASAP.  We’re looking for 4-6 people who are willing to work a 3 hour shift.  Let me know whether you are available Saturday or Sunday and also morning or afternoon when you email me (achoate@gmail.com).  We should have exhibitor badges for these people so you should be able to spend the remainder of that day checking things out if you would like.

Membership Drive

The EVA is running a membership drive and I hope you will consider joining the EVA and supporting the Austin chapter when you do.  There are options for a basic membership, family memberships and business members.  Your membership helps the organization provide the things we rely on at the national level to run our chapter and now a portion of your dues will go into a fund to support our local efforts as well.

You can join the EVA at myeva.org/join and select Austin as your chapter to support us.

Need incentive?

We have two giveaways:

Electrify Expo has given us 6 general admission passes to the Expo this weekend.  If you are an EVA member registered to support the Austin chapter by 5pm Wednesday 11/9, we’ll automatically add you to the list that we use to do a drawing on the evening of the 9th for 3 pairs of codes to register for general admission tickets on either Saturday or Sunday.  If you are an EVA member that supports another chapter but are planning to be in town, feel free to reach out to me by 5pm Wednesday and I’ll add you to the drawing.

Aptera reservation codes:

Aptera is supporting the EVA by offering free reservation codes to our chapters to give away.  If you are interested in getting on the Aptera reservation list, we have two codes to offer to our members.  We’ll be doing a drawing for these codes at the conclusion of the membership drive at the end of November.  If you are a member of the EVA by Nov 30 and you support the Austin chapter, email me with your interest and I will add you to the drawing.  We have two codes to give away.  If you are an EVA member that supports another chapter, please reach out to your chapter leadership to inquire about the opportunity with them.  Each chapter has received two codes.
