World Electric Vehicle Association

The World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA) is an organization that promotes electric vehicles.

The President is Genevieve Cullen.

Member associations

It is composed by :

  • The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) [1]
  • The Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP) [2]
  • The European Association for Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (AVERE) [3]

EDTA

The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) is the American branch, based in Washington, D.C..

Founded in 1989, the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) is the preeminent US industry association dedicated to the promotion of electric drive as the best means to achieve the highly efficient and clean use of secure energy in the transportation sector. EDTA supports the sustainable commercialization of all electric drive transportation technologies by providing in-depth information, education, industry networking, public policy advocacy and international conferences and exhibitions. As a unified voice for the electric drive industry, EDTA members includes a diverse representation of vehicle and equipment manufacturers, energy providers, component suppliers, and end users.

EVAAP

Electric Vehicle Association of Asia Pacific (EVAAP) is an international organization which promotes the use of electric vehicles in the areas of Asia and Pacific.[4]

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. To achieve these objectives, AVERE's activities are related to dissemination, networking, monitoring, participation in European and multilateral projects, lobbying, and research and development.

Structure

AVERE is a federate and decentralized structure with 17 National Associations, 2 European networks (CITELEC and Eurelectric) as well as direct members, with more countries including new member states in the process of joining. In total, there are over 1000 direct and indirect members. AVERE forms the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA), together with EVAAP (Asia Pacific) and EDTA (North and South America).

Activities

The main activities are related to dissemination, networking, monitoring, participation in European and multilateral projects, lobbying, research and development. In public policy advocacy AVERE presents the concerns of electric drive industry and R&D bodies to the European Commission which plays the key role in helping the development of clean vehicles.

As a part of WEVA, AVERE organizes Electric Vehicle Simposiums (EVS). It also collaborates in regional events in different countries and in many specialized conferences and workshops.

International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition (EVS)

WEVA organizes annual International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition (EVS).

The EVS series began in 1969 as an academic forum for global networking and the exchange of technical information. As electric drive technologies progressed from the classrooms and laboratories into the marketplace, EVS blossomed into an event that is both academic and business oriented.[5] Since its inception, 29 EVS symposia have taken place all over the world.

Rotating between regions of the world, each EVS event is hosted by one of the three members of WEVA.[6] The next EVS will be EVS 30, hosted by EDTA in Stuttgart, Germany, in October 2017.

World Electric Vehicle Journal (WEVJ)

WEVA publishes an international scientific journal called the World Electric Vehicle Journal ( ISSN 2032-6653). The World Electric Vehicle Journal is a peer-reviewed international scientific journal that covers all studies related to battery, hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles comprehensively. It publishes selected contributions from the EVS Symposia after an additional review process.
