Who We Are

The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) has been advocating for advanced electric drive transportation since 1989. We uniquely represent the entire value chain of electric drive, encompassing battery, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell electric drive technologies and infrastructure. Our members include vehicle and component manufacturers, electricity providers, and materials and infrastructure suppliers.

Our Mission

EDTA’s mission is focused on public policy advocacy, education, and industry networking, including the longest-running international EV conference. As the collective voice of the electric drive industry, EDTA believes that:

Achieving net-zero emissions transportation for all Americans is a critically important goal, which requires a comprehensive electrification effort across multiple sectors of the economy.
U.S. leadership in the effort to electrify transportation will secure our economic future, while driving innovation that reduces emissions, creates jobs, and boosts investment opportunities in our communities across all segments of the economy.
To secure our leadership, the U.S. should implement a bold, comprehensive multi-year plan to catalyze transformative investments in market expansion, accelerate technology development, and ensure the deployment of e-mobility—defined as the use of electric powertrain technologies—in all transportation sectors.
