EVs for Everyone
Electric vehicles (EVs) are in your reach! You could qualify for $5000 to $14,000 toward the cost of buying or leasing a new or used electric vehicle. Learn how at our free EV Financial Clinic.
REGISTER: Affordable EV Webinar
Join this webinar to find out just how affordable EV’s really are. We’ll do the cost breakdown on how income qualified individuals are getting money put back in their pockets or leasing for as low as $40/month.
We’ll discuss electric vehicle basics: charging, battery range, new vs. used, and the following financial considerations:
- EV costs are going down and incentives are generous, making these cars a smart financial choice for more families – in many cases even more affordable than a gas car.
- Households making under $104,800 (for a family of 4) can qualify for $14,000 in incentives (which could pay the entire cost of a three-year EV lease) or get a $5,000 grant toward a used EV.
- Other incentives are available for drivers of all income levels.
- EV fuel costs the equivalent of $1.50/gallon of gasoline.
- EVs have half the maintenance costs of gasoline vehicles.
- EVs are very fun to drive, convenient to refuel, have zero tailpipe emissions, and reduce carbon pollution by 75-100%.
