According to local emissions assessments, over 80% of our regional climate changing Green House Gas Emissions come from vehicles. Electric Vehicles offer an immediate elimination of driving emissions, zero from the tailpipe and zero when plugged into the carbon-free electricity purchased from our local Central Coast Community Energy (formerly Monterey Bay Community Power). We invite you to learn why we are so excited about the many benefits of electric vehicle driving, including cost benefits and contributing to the health of our planet.
We look forward to seeing you and keeping the possibility of Electric Vehicle ownership top of mind for everyone!
