Study shows EVs cost less to maintain
According to the Office of Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Electric vehicles (EVs) cost significantly less than gas vehicles to maintain.
The estimated scheduled maintenance cost for a light-duty battery-electric vehicle totals 6.1 cents per mile, while a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle totals 10.1 cents per mile. Over the life of a vehicle, this can amount to significant savings.
We created an EV resource page to make your transition from gas-powered to an electric vehicle seamless. On that page you can find a list of numerous incentives and tax credits, learn about the different types of EV chargers, and more!
Heat pump water heater rebate to decrease after 9/30
Time is running out on rebates for replacing your gas water heater. Right now, we are offering a rebate of up to $1,500 to replace your gas water heater with a heat pump water heater. That is scheduled to drop to $1,000 after September 30.
You can also stack our incentive on top of the $1,000 rebate from BayREN. Bottom line: right now, you can get up $2,500 off!
Heat pump water heaters are clean, safe and all-electric. With the 100% carbon-free electricity you get from Peninsula Clean Energy, a switch from gas to electric means you are no longer burning fossil fuels to heat your water.
