Plug In America

Plug In America Plug In America drives change. We accelerate the shift to plug-in vehicles powered by clean, affordable, domestic electricity.

Plug In America is a coalition of RAV4-EV drivers, former lessees of Honda EV+, GM EV1, Ford Ranger and Ford Th!nk City electric cars, and advocates of energy independence and clean air. Prior to 2008, we functioned as a loose network of individuals organized around various websites like dontcrush.com and saveEV1.com. We then coalesced into a chapter of the Electric Auto Association. On January 2,

2008, Plug In America became a separate California non-profit corporation. On August 18, 2008, we became an official 501(c)(3) public charity!

A common misconception about EVs is that you can't charge them in the rain. We’re here to tell you that you can simply and safely charge in the rain. Keep watching, and we'll show you how the technology is designed to keep you protected. 💙

After years of talking about with his daughter (Jess, who happens to work at Plug In America 😉) and joining her at car shows and NDEM/DEEM events, Jess’s dad finally found the right fit: a VW e-Golf.

He chose to make the switch for cleaner driving, lower fuel costs, and the smooth, quiet ride that comes with driving electric. He even already found a charger that works with his routine, conveniently at his gym, where he’s already spending a few hours each week.

Congratulations to Jess’s dad! 🎉 Stories like this remind us that making the switch to electric often starts with a conversation.
