Why Go Electric?

Electric vehicles have many benefits over traditional gasoline vehicles:

  • EVs produce no emissions
  • Fuel costs for electric vehicles are substantially lower than gas vehicles
  • EVs are more fuel efficient than gas powered vehicles
  • EVs are less expensive to maintain

Q: Is a second electric meter installed?
A: No. As of December 15, 2016, GWP no longer requires a second EV sub-meter for EV charging stations.
 
Q: How much money can I save by driving an electric car?
A: The amount you will save using electricity instead of gasoline will vary depending on many factors including type of vehicle, price of electricity, price of gas, and driving conditions.
