About Us

We are the Route 66 Electric Vehicle Association!

The Route 66 EV Association was formed in 2020, as a way to bring together EV enthusiasts who are also fans of America's greatest historic US Highway. We are an official chapter of the Electric Vehicle Association, a non-profit educational organization which has been advocating and promoting the adoption of electric transportation since 1967!

With over 100 chapters, the Electric Vehicle Association has thousands of members in the United States and Canada. The Route 66 EVA is the first virtual chapter without a home base city, conducting our meetings via online videoconferencing. Our home is all of Route 66, and our members share an interest in both electric vehicles and travel on the Mother Road.

You can join the Route 66 EVA by visiting our parent association's membership page. During signup, you can select the Route 66 EVA as your chosen chapter. We welcome all who would like to educate and learn about EVs, while supporting the history, places and people of Route 66.

EV Tip Time!!! Today's EV Tip comes to us from Len Nowak, one of our members who lives, shall we say, off the beaten path - down some dusty "primitive" roads. This solution has been used for his KIA EV6, and should be universally acceptable for other vehicles using a CCS charger. Dilema: The gasket around the vehicle charge port door keeps the majority of dust and dirt out of the port connectors, but some fine particles can still get in! Corrective Action: Using a standard silicone drain plug, as many standard rubber substrates don’t hold up well in hotter climates, it seals the J-1772 section of the charge port! Sure… Every “now and then” Len still hits this area with his electric leaf blower or compressed air... Was this tip helpful to you? Do you have any EV tips you'd like to share?
