EV or gas-powered, we have you covered.
Understanding EVs
Electric vehicles (EVs) are fun to drive, cheaper and easier to maintain than gas-powered vehicles, and contribute fewer emissions into the air. With tax incentives available and a fast-growing network of charging stations, find out if owning an EV is the right choice for you.
Which EV is Right for Me?
Battery Electric
Fully electric cars offer the smallest environmental footprint and the biggest savings on maintenance and fuel.
Plug-in Hybrid
Plug-in hybrids have a rechargable electric motor and a gas-powered engine to extend range if needed.
Traditional Hybrid
Powered by an electric motor and gas-powered engine, Hybrids recharge as you drive. Tax credits and other benefits may not apply.
Benefits of Plugging In
Federal Tax Credit
A federal tax rebate up to of $7,500 is available on many EV models.
Local Incentives
Even more savings from your state and/or utility company.
Low Cost to Own
EV owners can expect to spend half as much on maintenance and repair (Consumer Reports)
Fuel Up At Home
Charge while you sleep, work, or at a growing number of public chargers.
Quick and Quiet
Enjoy fast and smooth acceleration, better handling, and a quieter ride.
Best of Both Worlds
Plug-in hybrids provide electric range for short trips and gas-power for longer journeys.
Owning an EV
Understanding Charging
Charging times vary depending of the type of charger used.
Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and charge about 2-5 miles of range per hour, making Level 1 a good choice for plugin hybrid vehicles but not battery electric vehicles.
Level 2 chargers can be installed at your home by a professional electrician and charge about 10-20 miles of range per hour. A good choice for any EV when charging overnight or all-day is possible.
Level 3 fast chargers are the most efficient and can be found at commercial locations. Level 3 can charge about 60-80 miles of range in about 20 minutes, making it a good choice for any EV when a quick charge is needed on the go.

Battery Care
Charging times vary depending of the type of charger used.
Most batteries will last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles when properly cared for. With battery technology continually advancing, that number will continue to increase. If you can keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged most days and avoid extremely hot temperatures, you can expect your maintenance to be minimal.
