Electric vehicles reduce our dependence on foreign oil, help clean the air and reduce greenhouse emissions. Yet, they stay in the crosshairs of policy making. This workshop will explain why and help you decide if an EV or hybrid vehicle fits your lifestyle and budget. If you are shopping for a vehicle, it’s a good time to consider the savings from a used, low-mile EV because this year a large number of electric cars are coming off lease. We’ll talk about the batteries, charging options and electricity costs. Finally, we will hear from a panel of current owners.
