Electric vehicles, a smart transportation choice.

Electric Vehicles (EV) Cost Less to Operate than Gas Powered Cars.
Depending on your local gasoline and electric rates, EV operation can be 3 to 5 times cheaper than gasoline and diesel powered cars.

Never Go to the Gas Station Again.
Electric vehicles do not require gasoline and can be charged at home with a standard 120V outlet or a 240V level 2 charger can be installed for faster, more efficient charging.

EVs are Environmentally Friendly.
EVs have no tailpipe emissions. The power plant producing your electricity may produce emissions, but electricity from hydro, solar, nuclear, or wind-powered plants is generally emission-free.

EV Performance Benefits.
Electric motors provide quiet, smooth operation, stronger acceleration and require less maintenance than gasoline-powered internal combustion engines.

EV Driving Range & Recharge Time.
EV range is typically around 80 to over 330 miles on a full charge. The average American’s daily round-trip commute is less than 30 miles. Fully recharging the battery pack can take 4 to 8 hours. A "fast charge" to 80% capacity can take 30 min.*

This website is designed to provide you with variety of information about electric vehicles. The Northwest is an ideal place to own an EV for many reasons, one being that much of our power comes from hydroelectric and renewable energy sources. This means when you drive an EV, you are trading your fossil fuels (gasoline and diesel) for energy coming from dams, wind farms and in many cases solar power.
