Why Drive Electric?

1. It’s fun! With no transmission and full power available instantly, electric cars are more responsive with great handling characteristics. They are fun to drive!
2. Save Money. Take advantage of tax credits, no sales tax, and spend much less on fuel and maintenance costs. Energy costs in Washington State make it possible to drive electric for about 2 cents per mile.
3. Convenience. Start every morning with a full battery after charging your car while you sleep. It’s like having a gas station in your garage and filling your tank every day.
4. Simplicity. Electric vehicles have about 70 percent fewer moving parts, motors that don’t need maintenance, and batteries typically warrantied for eight years or more.
5. Support the local economy. Electricity is produced locally and electric vehicle infrastructure is installed locally, creating jobs and economic investment in Washington State.
6. Protect the environment. Electric vehicles do not emit pollutants or carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases or drip toxins that pollute our waterways. Electricity in Washington, and especially in Jefferson County, is produced mostly by clean, renewable sources such as hydropower, wind and solar, which do not create smog or contribute to global warming.

CONVERTING A GAS CAR TO ELECTRIC IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF RECYCLING
