Join this live presentation with Julia Rivera, Equity Specialist, to learn more about how you may save money with Bay Area local, regional, state, and federal EV incentives. We will be focusing on how low-to-moderate income households can receive additional benefits and stack savings from multiple programs. This presentation will provide a breakdown of incentives to help you maximize your savings when you purchase or lease your very own EV.
