The Association's activities include, among others, all kinds of electric or hybrid vehicles – passenger, commercial, trucks, etc. – as complete mechanical constructions, and all their supporting subsystems, mechanical, electrical, electronic, software, etc.

Included also are networks and infrastructures to support these vehicles, ensuring their wider dissemination in accordance with the related policies and action plans of the State, e.g., electric energy distribution networks for electric vehicles and public charging stations for their batteries (conventional or advanced technology), networks of organized centers for maintenance/replacement of electric batteries, networks of rental stations for electric city cars, etc.

Additionally, monitoring the global and European legislative developments, offering incentives or removing disincentives for using electric vehicles, as well as legislative activities encouraging car manufacturers to expand their production to electric or hybrid vehicles with zero or near-zero emissions, is a significant aspect of the Association.
