From Transport Evolved.

It’s the start of 2025 – and if you’re in the U.S. there’s a likelihood you’re a little concerned about the future of EVs, EV incentives, and EV-friendly policies.

Which is why we think now’s the perfect time to join an EV group where you live – or a national EV owner group to help represent your interests on the national (or international) stage.

(And while we’re focusing on EVs, it’s also great to do the same thing for other greener, cleaner, groups and interests!)
