Member associations
It is composed of:
- The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA)
- The Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP)
- The European Association for Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (AVERE)
EDTA
The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) is the American branch, based in Washington, D.C.[2]
Founded in 1989, the EDTA is a US industry association that advocates for electric drive transportation technologies through education, industry networking, public policy advocacy and international conferences and exhibitions.
EVAAP
The Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP) is an international organization that promotes the use of electric vehicles in the Asia and the Pacific and also representative to the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA) organizing the International Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS) rotationally with AVERE and EDTA.[3]
AVERE
The European Association for Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (AVERE) was founded in 1978 and is based in Brussels. It is a European network of users, NGO's, associations, interest groups, etc. Its main objective is promoting the use of battery, hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles (individually and in fleets) for priority uses in order to achieve a greener mobility for cities and countries.[4]
