EVA Welcomes Citizens’ Climate Lobby Leader as Our Member Summit Keynote Speaker

We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker for the 2026 EVA Annual Member Summit: Greg Winchell of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL).

As a powerhouse in grassroots advocacy, CCL knows what it takes to turn passion into change. Greg’s keynote will set the stage for the day, focusing on how we can support local leadership to accelerate EV adoption across the country. 

As federal policy shifts the momentum of the energy transition toward state and local action, the role of the "everyday" volunteer has never been more critical. We are requesting a keynote that explores the vital intersection between CCL and the EVA, highlighting how local "boots on the ground" are the true engines of progress.

CCL is moving beyond the data-driven persuasion model to focus on authentic connection, addressing how to navigate a polarized landscape with neighbors who range from apathetic/disinterested to hostile. Greg’s address will empower attendees to leverage their local credibility to build a better future, one community at a time, setting a collaborative tone for the day's upcoming breakout sessions and networking.
