*May Monthly Meeting*
Hi everyone! We are going back to in person meetings but still outside and
spaced out at our old favorite, Carl Cowan park since it has plenty of
shade trees. We are investigating other locations that could possibly have
charging so make sure to check the location each month for any updates.
This meeting will have an important vote on making our partnership with
Drive Electric Tennessee official as part of the DET Knoxville chapter.
This will be in addition to us being an EAA chapter. We are just making
our synergies official by voting on it.
Porsche Taycan launch event
Just to let people know, Harper Porsche will be introducing the new rear
wheel drive Taycan on Saturday before our meeting (9am-11am) if you would
like to go see and possibly test drive that luxury sport EV. Just make it
back in time for our important meeting!!

Meeting Agenda
- Member introduction
- Any updates from members
- Motion for KEVA to Align with Drive Electric Tennessee (DET) as a DET
Chapter:
- The Knoxville Electric Vehicle Association (KEVA) authorizes the
Chapter President to take steps to align with and identify as a
participant/partner
in Drive Electric Tennessee to strengthen and extend our ability to
carry out our mission of promoting adoption of electric vehicles and
related issues (e.g., public charging). The president’s authority in
this matter includes adoption of any formal agreements that are
consistent
with KEVA’s mission and independence as an organization, and with KEVA’s
affiliation with the Electric Auto Association. Under such
agreements, it is expected that KEVA will continue to carry out its own
activities and will, when beneficial to both KEVA and DET, partner in or
assist with other efforts in promotion of electric vehicle adoption. The
president may make such financial commitments related to KEVA’s role as a
DET chapter as may be allowed by KEVA’s ByLaws. KEVA will maintain
all autonomy as an independent organization. This partnership will not
impact KEVA’s ability to manage it’s officers, goals, plans and
activities
as it wishes but will hopefully be synergistic.
- Please come prepared with any questions/changes about the motion.
- Report on all the Drive Electric Earth Day events around the area last
month.
- Who has pictures from our Cars and Coffee Event?? Are we in Harpers
drone pictures?
- Denso EV day at their plant?
- Additional updates from DET? License plate update?
- That time of year, let's discuss our electric lawn care equipment.
Does Knoxville have a carbon neutral lawn care service?
- Tons of EV news we can talk about.
Meeting date and time: Saturday May 8th 11:00am
Meeting location: Carl Cowan Park 10058 S Northshore Dr, Knoxville, TN 37922
We will meet in the back area of the park past the kids splash pad area,
where there is a large shaded area with some picnic benches. Bring your
chairs to sit out. There is plenty of parking and bathrooms onsite. Sorry
there is no charging at this location.
