On
http://www.evdl.org/help/
 it lists the evdl's archive:

http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html
EVDL Archive / Forum Interface  (official and supported)

 it also lists a couple of others that are unofficial and unsupported:

https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/

But now the gmane evdl archive 
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.recreation.cars.evdl
 is down, and unless its owner/creator (Lars) works with others to get the
support he needs, gmane will be down for not just as an evdl archive, but
for several other archives as well (many people commented how much they want
gmane to remain online).

Ingebrigtsen: The End of Gmane?
[Posted July 28, 2016 by jake]
On his blog, Gmane creator and maintainer Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen warns that
the email-to-news (and web) gateway may be disappearing soon. The site,
which is hosted by his employer, has been under a distributed denial of
service (DDoS) attack ...


'Your guess is as good as mine'

https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/category/gmane/
 ... Running a mailing list archive means, of course, that people want stuff
removed from the archive, so I’ve apparently been sued in India (along with
Google and Yahoo) ...

It would perhaps be preferable if a group of people, or an organisation,
were to run this thing, so that it could be a stable resource…

While the evdl has its own (nabble) archive, and an unofficial one on
mail-archive.com , some may miss the style/format of what was on gmane. The
look and feel reminded me of the unofficial evdl archive that was on the DIY
forum:
http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/evdl-list-15.html
 but that stopped back in 2012.

Perhaps the two evdl archives are enough to ensure everyone can still get
their evdl fix if one goes down. I just feel bad that all of Lar's kind
efforts are to be rewarded with such attacks  :: a shame ::
