Webinar: Getting paid to go green — Tues 20 April at 11am PT
This one-hour webinar took place on 20 April 2021 at 11am PT.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity in the US, particularly in California. Despite misconceptions about EVs being expensive, EVs can be the most cost-effective vehicles available.
Making EVs even more affordable are the many incentives and rebates available in California, especially for income-qualified consumers. With help from the Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, qualified EV adopters can essentially get paid to drive a car.
But navigating all the options can be challenging and time-consuming.
Gregory Young, a Program Manager at the Clean Coalition, went through the process and will get paid to drive over the 3-year lease he secured on an EV. Gregory shared the benefits of his research process and how others can also get paid to drive electric.
This webinar covered:
- Costs, grants, and rebates for EVs.
- Process and qualification requirements for California grants and rebates.
- Tips, tricks, and resources for navigating the process to apply for incentives and start driving electric.
- The best times of the day to charge an EV based on renewable energy generation and C02 emission trends.
