Every year, members of MEVA look forward to hosting this increasingly popular event.

See dozens of 2-, 3-, and 4-wheeled plugin electric vehicles, including the New Flyer Xcelsior electric bus, a Zero S electric motorcycle, an electric motorboat, an electric skateboard and other fascinating EVs.

Marvel at the many vehicles which Manitobans have converted from gas to electric power like Don Himbeault’s 1954 Austin A40, and Lloyd Timlick’s pink 1979 Avanti II, which features surprises worthy of James Bond.

Also, Nott Autocorp, the Vickar Auto Group, First Nation Auto Inc., Ft. Whyte Alive, individual MEVA members and MEVA corporate members, Peg City Car Co-op and Manitoba Hydro, will display a variety of factory-made plugin electric vehicles like the Tesla Model X, BMWi3, Nissan LEAF, Toyota Prius, Mitsubishi iMiEV, Chevy Bolt (Motor Trend magazine’s Car of the Year! ) and more.

Free rides in some EVs.

Manitoba Sustainable Energy Association (ManSEA) member, Solar Manitoba, will display photovoltaic panels.

Enter a free draw to win a $50 gift certificate from the East India Company Pub & Eatery. The winner will be chauffeured to and from the restaurant in an electric vehicle!

MEVAfest will be one of several great events at Winnipeg’s largest street festival, Manyfest.

See you on Broadway!

Electric Vehicles: fun for EVeryone! Want to know how? Join us!

Over five thousand vehicles registered in our province have electric motors. More and more Manitobans are becoming interested in electric-powered cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, boats and more. A few savvy Manitobans have converted various internal-combustion-powered vehicles to electric power. Some have purchased electric vehicles (EVs) which were manufactured in factories. Others are contemplating an EV purchase or conversion. Some don’t own a motorized vehicle, but, like every EV enthusiast, they promote greater public and private use of clean, energy-efficient, electric vehicles.
