Increasing Electric Vehicle Awareness and Charging Infrastructure in Northwest Washington

Electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts living north of Seattle have a new home in the northern reaches of the Puget Sound area. Newly formed North Sound Electric Vehicle Association is partnering with the Northwest Washington Electrical Industry Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) in Mt. Vernon, Washington to provide for a monthly meeting location for the EV group.

North Sound EVA was formed by Tyrel Haveman of Bellingham for the purpose of enhancing EV awareness in Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and San Juan Counties.  The group also aims to increase EV infrastructure and support electrification efforts in Northwest Washington.

The JATC apprenticeship and training programs offer electricians, aspiring and experienced alike, a state-of-the-art facility to hone their craft.  Their newest program offerings include certification for electric vehicle infrastructure deployment.

Geographically, the JATC provides North Sound EVA a location that is easily accessible by electric vehicle drivers living in Washington's northern and island counties. And for EV drivers that want to plug in during the group's meetings, the JATC facility provides ample electric vehicle supply equipment to charge from.
