#Charging is unique to every driver! Factors like home charging, public charging, and local electricity rates all play a role. The average cost to charge an EV is a good baseline, but it only tells part of the story. 🤗 #TipoftheMonth #DriveElectric #EVs

One of the coolest EV innovations is Plug & Charge. Many compatible EVs can automatically start charging at participating stations, meaning fewer apps, fewer taps, and less time spent standing at the charger. All you have to do is plug in and walk away...

Tailpipe pollution doesn’t stay on the road. It lingers in the air we breathe, especially near busy streets and highways. That means more exposure for everyone, but it is especially harmful for kids, older adults, and anyone with asthma or heart conditions.
