Why buy an Electric Vehicle?
- Tax Advantages. $2,500 in state tax credits and up to $7,500 in federal tax credits.
- Drive Anywhere. EV charging stations are being rapidly installed throughout our state and country. Check ’em all out and map your route.
- Skip the Gas Station. EVs can be charged at home with a standard 120V outlet and many utilities offer assistance with installing a higher level charging station for your home (click on your utility below to learn more).
- Less Maintenance. Without the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine, EVs are less costly and easier to maintain.
- Half the Cost. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that it costs about half as much to drive an electric vehicle as similar vehicle that runs on gasoline.
- Environmentally friendly. All-electric vehicles produce zero direct emissions.
