  • Uncle Sam I want  you

    Our EV world is a growing global community of enthusiasts, hobbyists and activists who own or aspire to "upgrade" from petroleum-dependent forms of mobility to ones that can run on power of wind, wave, earth and sun.

    You can learn more about them using the expandable menus below. We also encourage you to consider joining our EV ADVOCATE NETWORK and actively engaged in small acts of personal activism and planetary kindness.

    Also, we urge you to add your voice to the various venues that we offer, including adding your Do-It-Yourself electric car conversion project to the DIY GALLERY. Share your 'Beyond-the-headlines' observations on our PUBLIC FORUM. If you own a hybrid, electric car or electric two-wheeler, take minute to tell us about it in JOURNALS.
