MANITOBA ELECTRIC VEHICLE ASSOCIATION
Celebrating Eleven Years of Plugging In!
Compared to vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines, electric-powered vehicles are better for the environment, less expensive to operate and much more fun to drive! For these reasons and more, on November 16, 2010, sixteen forward-thinking, environmentally-conscious EV proponents formed the Manitoba Electric Vehicle Association. Since then, many men and women of all ages, in all regions of the province, have joined the Association, to promote the use of plugin electric vehicles.
