Description
Plug In America is a coalition of early adopters. We’re the EV trailblazers - RAV4-EV drivers, former lessees of Honda EV+, GM EV1, Ford Ranger and Ford Th!nk City electric cars - that passionately advocate for energy independence and clean air. Before 2008, we functioned as a loose network of individuals organized around various websites like dontcrush.com and saveEV1.com. We then coalesced into a chapter of the Electric Auto Association. On January 2, 2008, Plug In America became a separate California non-profit corporation. On August 18, 2008, we became an official 501(c)(3) public charity! Since 2011, we've partnered with Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association to present National Drive Electric Week (formerly Plug In Day), educating hundreds of thousands of people in cities throughout the United States about electric vehicles and their many benefits.
