Buy an Electric Vehicle

Avoid 4-8 Tons of carbon emissions per year

Electric vehicles outperform gas powered vehicles in every way. Because they are so much more energy efficient and require so little maintenance, they are cheaper to operate than gas cars. Including tax incentives and operational savings, they are cheaper to own over 5 years than comparable gas cars of their class.

  • More fun to drive

  • Accelerate faster, corner better, drive quieter

  • Save hundreds of dollars per year on fuel and maintenance

  • Never go to a gas station again!

  • Charge at home with renewable energy to eliminate carbon emissions from driving.

“I got rid of my Subaru Outback, and got this all-wheel drive Tesla Model Y. It is a game changer and I feel great every time I go driving anywhere having no tailpipes. I use my regular household outlet to charge it overnight and have taken the car on long road trips in all sorts of weather with no problems finding EV charging stations. And if you like to drive, EVs are so much fun…try it, you’ll become addicted.” Randall, Portland OR

EVs are Cheaper than you think
