Affordable Electric Vehicle Clinic: How to Qualify for a Free or Low-Cost EV (IN ENGLISH & SPANISH)
When:
Tuesday, March 23, 2021
12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
Join the Community Environmental (CEC) for a webinar with CEC’s Energy and Climate Programs Director Michael Chiacos and CEC’s Energy and Climate Associate Jen Hernández – both EV owners and industry experts – to learn which 100+ mpg electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid might be best for you. Michael will share his experience driving on sunshine since 2012. Jen, who recently leased an EV for $20/month, will share why the decision to drive electric was an easy choice for her family.
We will discuss:
- Pure electric vehicles vs. plug-in hybrids and some of the 40+ EVs currently available.
- Financial considerations of incentives and leasing versus buying a new or used vehicle.
- Charging basics, range considerations, and long trips in an EV.
- How to pair home solar with your EV for maximum savings.
- How to stack incentives and purchase a new EV for the price of a Toyota Corolla, lease one for free or very low cost, or buy a used EV for as little as $5,000.
- How to save $50,000 on gas with an investment of $6,000 on solar panels.
