What electric vehicles are on the market?

It’s time to make the switch to an electric vehicle

Battery life is longer, ranges are longer, new models have arrived, prices have come down, federal and state incentives continue and more charging stations are being built. Buying an EV is the best way to immediately lower your carbon footprint.

The more EVs on the road, the more charging infrastructure will be built.

Electric vehicles are part of every personal, business and municipal plan to transition to clean energy.
