Native Communities

Chaired by Hans Klose

Native American Communities in Arizona face a unique challenge to EV adoption. Oftentimes, a lack of infrastructure and resources are the largest obstacles to electric vehicles in these communities. Our organization is committed to working with both Tribal Leaders and community members in breaking down these barriers.

DRIVE Electric Arizona’s first chaper, Three Rivers Tribes, serves three Native American Tribes around the Phoenix metro area. Our vision is to expand upon these chapters to additional tribes throughout Arizona, combining efforts of these communities for maximum impact.
