Over the weekend at one of our events, MEVA met a local EV enthusiast – Daniel Schroeder! Daniel has been upkeeping a blog about his travels in his Kia Niro. He has extensive information about charging locations and the ease of driving an EV in Michigan. You can learn more here: https://midwest-kia-ev.blogspot.com/
MEVA is coming to an event near you! That is, if you live in Saline, Lansing, or Detroit. We will be attending Saline Summerfest, Lansing Pride, and Woodward Dream Cruise on 8/12, 8/13, and 8/20, respectively. If you’re in the area, we’d love for you to stop and have a chat!
There are a lot of benefits to EV’s, but one that might slip under the radar is the ability to use them for bi-directional charging. This can enable an EV owner to make money, save money, and become more energy self sufficient. Learn more here!
Another op-ed was recently published in the Holland Sentinel highlighting support in Michigan for electric vehicles. This is a great review of facts behind electric vehicles, as well as why MEVA’s goals are important. Thanks Richard for your efforts here!
MEVA is live on social media! We have launched our Facebook and Twitter accounts, and are sharing more info about ourselves and EV events through them. You can find them here and here. LinkedIn is coming soon, so keep an eye out!

On 11/09/21, we had our bi-weekly meeting. We discussed recruitment, reach-out to other organizations, and the refinement of our mission statement. We also reviewed MEVA’s discussions with Representative LaGrand’s staffers. Rep. LaGrand is pushing for increased charging infrastructure in MI, a critical piece of making EV’s available to everyone. In addition, the passage of the […]
On 10/27/21, we got the opportunity to meet with Gov. Whitmer’s staffers to discuss MEVA’s goals and push them forward at a state level. Governor Whitmer is launching a new program soon called “Charge Up MI Fleet”, which is a good public sector corollary to our goals in the private sector.
We’re looking for help! In particular, we’re trying to grow our social media presence and add more detailed research to our website and presentation slides. If you think you fit either bill (or have skills we’ve missed!), please reach out! Contact us here.
A great op-ed on the importance of electric vehicles was published in the Holland Sentinel on 12/29/21. Click here to view it. While we’re a bit behind on the original posting, it never hurts to have an article like this re-posted for those who may have missed. Change is coming, and Michigan can lead that […]
