The Electric Vehicle Association of Georgia Launches This Week

We are thrilled to announce the exciting launch of the EVA of Georgia, a statewide chapter dedicated to accelerating electric vehicle adoption across the Peach State! This August marks a pivotal moment for EV enthusiasts, advocates, and curious Georgians alike, as we celebrate the official formation of our newest chapter.

Georgia is rapidly becoming a powerhouse in the electric vehicle industry, with significant investments in EV manufacturing and a growing interest among residents in the benefits of electric transportation. The EVA of Georgia volunteer members are poised to play a crucial role in this transformation, expanding EV education, advocacy, and engaging ride-and-drive events throughout the state.

This launch is a testament to the passionate and dedicated EV community in Georgia. We extend a massive congratulations to all our Georgia members and future members! Your enthusiasm and commitment are the driving force behind this exciting new chapter.

Meet the Leadership and Vision for Georgia

The EVA of Georgia is led by Fernando Hill, a seasoned EV advocate: “I’ve been in the electrical and low voltage industry for over three decades. I’m committed to advancing sustainability as a whole, particularly electric vehicle adoption. I believe in the power of education to ignite change and innovation, and our mission is to equip a new generation of professionals with the skills necessary to lead and thrive in this dynamic field.”

“Whether through sponsorship, volunteering, or other means, support plays a crucial role in the ability to promote EV adoption. I’m eager to explore how I can collaborate to further our mutual goals and make a lasting contribution to the sustainable future of transportation and EV infrastructure." Under his guidance, the chapter plans to significantly grow its membership by fostering a welcoming and informative environment for everyone interested in EVs, from seasoned owners to those just starting their journey. They’ll be hosting a variety of events, workshops, and educational programs designed to demystify EVs, showcase the latest technologies, and connect like-minded individuals across Georgia.

The mission is clear: to empower Georgia residents, businesses, and governments to embrace the future of electric transportation. “We believe that by providing accessible information, hands-on experiences, and a strong community network, we can help more Georgians discover the cost savings, environmental benefits, and sheer joy of driving electric,” said Hill.
