No Promotions or Spam

Give more than you take to this group. Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links aren't allowed. Selling EV-related items is okay.

Respect Everyone's Privacy

Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group should stay in the group.
