The Philly EV Club takes part in advocacy efforts to bring more EV infrastructure to residents.
A Philadelphia social club brings together electric vehicle owners, advocating for more accessible charging infrastructure across the city.
As an article for ABC 6 by Chad Pradelli and Cheryl Mettendorf notes, the club organizes meetups that draw hundreds, and its online forum answers questions for all types of EV owners.
Philly EV Club founder Ilya Knizhnik was an early supporter of a now-discontinued city program that let residents install EV chargers at reserved on-street parking spots. “What I would like to see is accessible and affordable infrastructure. So, infrastructure that the average person doesn't have to figure out,” Knizhnik says.
