We are a group of people who gather to discuss electric vehicles, their construction, the technologies that make them work, and how we can further their continued re-introduction into central Texas.

Several of us own EVs or have conversions in progress. Please come to our monthly meetings and see what we are all about. We welcome all who would wish to join us.
