Welcome to the Seattle Electric Vehicle Association WebSite
Chapter Members of the The Electric Auto Association
"Promoting the use of electric vehicles since 1967"
"To convert a gas car to electric is the HIGHEST form of recycling."



Our monthly meetings are held at the Church of the Nazarene above the Mosaic Community Coffee House.

There are five Considerations to keep in mind as you discover Electric Vehicles; Range, Environment, History, Efficiency, and Potential. We hope you enjoy the site and no, we do not power our EVs with lightning, yet. Rather, area grid electricity tends to come from Clean Hydro-Electric resources, and regional Wind resources may have even more potential !

EVents Calendar

You can often find SEVA members participating in one of their favorite pass times, Racing! That's right, Electric Vehicles are pushing the envelope by drag racing thanks to NEDRA the National Electric Drag Racing Association, check out our archive of the 2005 NEDRA Woodburn Nationals for a taste of some high performance EVs! You can also find many members daily drivers along with their race vehicles at various EVents. Check out the latest NEDRA event, Battery Beach Burnout, wrap up for January 20th and 21st at http://www.batterybeach.com

We have two main areas which focus on the vehicles, one branch for Electric and another for Hybrids. While our main focus is on conversions we also have information on production vehicles. If you're looking to buy a BEV you might check out our For Sale page.

There are a few new areas focusing on Batteries, Fuels, and Pollution. They are very new and may be incomplete at the moment. You can help by adding content to these pages...

PlugInPartners.com is a national grass-roots initiative to demonstrate to automakers that a market for flexible fuel PHEVs exists today. "Forget Hydrogen, Forget Hydrogen, Forget Hydrogen". "It's a coalition between the Tree-Huggers, Do-Gooders, Sod-Busters, Cheap Hawks, and the Evangelicals". --James Woolsey, former director of the CIA. Sign the petition, watch the webcast, and spread the word. In short, a PHEV delivers all of the advantaged of a BEV while retaining the unlimited range of traditional gas vehicles. See our Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Projects Page for more information and links to everything we know about this emerging technology.


Movies to watch this summer and other videos to watch right now.

  • An Inconvenient Truth - Feature Movie Trailer
    • Watch the trailer for 'An Inconvenient Truth'. The film eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global warming.
  • Who Killed the Electric Car? - Feature Movie Trailer Centered around the GM EV1
    • A series of interviews with experts, customers, and enthusiasts regarding the controversial decision by General Motors to kill its own brilliantly successful EV1 electric car program, which was followed quickly by the secretive, dramatic, and expensive seizure and crushing of most of the 1,100 high performance, zero emissions, gasoline-free, market ready EV1 vehicles in existence.
  • PlugInPartners.com - Good short movie, touches on many aspects.
