Historic Electric Vehicle Foundation Located at 208 N. 5th St, Kingman, AZ, the Historic Electric Vehicle Foundation (HEVF) stands as a testament to the visionary ambition of its founder, Roderick Wilde. With a passion for blending history and innovation, Wilde conceived of a nonprofit organization that would immerse visitors in the electric vehicle (EV) experience, offering them a glimpse into a future where sustainable transportation reigns supreme. In 2013, his dream materialized into reality with the establishment of HEVF, which quickly grew to become home to the world's most extensive collection of historically significant electric vehicles. What started as a singular vision has evolved into a broader mission—to ignite curiosity, spark inspiration, and empower future generations with the knowledge that they hold the key to a sustainable tomorrow. At HEVF, we are committed to providing each visitor with an enriching and interactive encounter with EVs, both past and present. Our goal is to normalize electric transportation, fostering a collective understanding of its potential to shape a cleaner, greener world—one vehicle at a time. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and a Washington state charitable organization, HEVF is dedicated to educational outreach. Our Kingman office serves as a hub for engaging programming aimed at Mohave County residents and Route 66 enthusiasts alike. Here, visitors can delve into the history of electrified transportation, explore the ingenuity of its pioneering creators, and even witness firsthand the preservation efforts underway for our unparalleled collection of historic EVs. With every initiative we undertake, we strive to answer the question: "Why is electrified transportation just better?" Join us on this electrifying journey as we learn from the past and embrace the future, inspiring generations to come.
