Currently at 747 pledges--very close to our 1,000 pledge goal!

If you’re one of those who opted in to be contacted about specific vehicles, stay tuned – our Electrified Dealers are in the midst of their EV trainings and will be reaching out to you soon.

If you haven't taken the pledge yet, you can take the pledge to make your next vehicle gas free!
