There are Saturday morning Zoom meet ups from 10 am to noon
to discuss any EV questions or news that people wish to chat about.

VEVA was formed in 1988 as a non-profit society to promote the use and adoption of electric vehicles through educational programs and outreach to the general public. We meet on Zoom Tuesday evenings 7-9 pm to hear from leaders in the electric vehicle community, to discuss current events, and to plan for various events which we attend each year promoting the concepts of electric vehicles. VEVA is r

egistered under the Society Act of British Columbia as a non-profit organization that promotes the use of electric vehicles. We have members from all over BC as well as other provinces and states. You can join VEVA for $25.00 for a year, just log into VEVA.ca
We now have Business Memberships for $250 per calendar year. See you soon & learn from others in our group.

Where there's a will there's a way…

A German Tesla owner who posts as Efiber on X has converted a used Model 3 Long Range battery pack into a 79 kWh home energy system, giving the salvaged pack from a wrecked car a second life storing power from his 11 kW rooftop solar array. The numbers make Tesla's own home products look small, as a single Powerwall 3 holds 13.5 kWh and costs around $15,000 installed, meaning this one car battery beats five Powerwalls combined at a fraction of the price, with salvage Model 3 packs typically selling for €2,500 to €5,000. The build wasn't plug-and-play, requiring a hybrid inverter and custom control hardware to communicate with Tesla's high-voltage battery management system, but the result can run a household for days during a grid outage. It's a powerful demonstration of how much life remains in Tesla packs after the car is gone, the same durability that keeps used Tesla values strong.

BC Hydro sets up a brand-new EV charging hub on the BCIT Burnaby Campus.

The hub features two 400-kilowatt chargers, which can add up to 100-kilometres of driving to an average EV in about three minutes. In addition to being the fastest on BC Hydro’s network, the chargers also offer power sharing so two vehicles can charge together on the same unit and receive up to 200-kilowatts each.
