Plug In America is a nonprofıt organizati­on with a variety of resources that help consumers switch to an electric vehicle (EV) powered by clean, affordable, domestic electricit­y. This will reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, improve air quality, result in better public health, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

EVs are benefıcial to the environmen­t, fun to drive, and oftentimes cheaper to own. The cars are easier to maintain (for example, you never need an oil change again) and don’t require expensive trips to the gas station. Going electric benefıts the driver, their community, and the nation at large.

Getting informed

For those new to EVs, a great place to start is a Drive Electric Earth Day event. Throughout April, dozens of in-person and online events give EV enthusiast­s and beginners alike the opportunit­y to interact with EVs in a fun, non-sales environmen­t. Attendees can test drive vehicles, talk to current EV owners, and see why more than 2 million Americans have already switched to electric!

Interested buyers can then go to PlugStar.com and fınd valuable resources to begin their EV journey. From start to fınish, consumers can fınd the exact EV they are searching for based on their budget, lifestyle, and other preference­s. PlugStar also provides informatio­n on incentives (such as tax credits and rebates), charging (including home charging equipment and fınding an electricia­n), and dealers trained and certifıed by Plug In America. This seamless experience provides people with everything they need to know to drive electric.

Plug In America also offers an EV Support Program through which prospectiv­e electric vehicle drivers can connect one-on-one with experts to have their questions answered, including questions about charging and incentives.

From Drive Electric Earth Day to PlugStar to the EV Support Program, Plug In America has the informatio­n drivers need to make the switch to electric in the most effıcient way possible. Visit PlugInAmer­ica.org, DriveElect­ricEarthDa­y.org, and PlugStar.com for more informatio­n.
