EVA emphasizes Safety and Reliabilty!

EVA was founded in 1988 by Bob Batson after converting his first Electric Vehicle, a VW Beetle. Bob knew from that Electric Vehicle experience and an analysis of world oil supplies that the "Future is Electric".

EVA studied the advantages of different types of vehicles (cars, sportscars, trucks, vans, SUVs) and identified that light-weight trucks had very specific electric vehicle advantages (e.g. payload capacity, weight distribution, safety, etc.). See the technical paper "Selecting a Vehicle for Conversion". In 1989 EVA converted a 1987 Dodge Ram 50 - that electric truck is still in operation in 2003 after a number of EV owners. Then EVA converted an number of S-10s, including three for the USAF. Other Electric Vehicle companies followed the EVA lead into light-weight electric trucks including GM and Ford.

Then EVA became a distributor for Advanced DC Motors and Curtis Instruments - leaders in Electric Vehicle components.

After 15 years in business, EVA has grown to meet the needs of many industrial customers (fork lift, golf cart) looking for Electric Vehicle systems and EV parts for unique applications as well as the individual building an Electric Vehicle (electric car, electric truck, electric boat, electric snowmobile, electric jet ski). Let EVA be your EV parts supplier!
