Our state offers another notable electric vehicle benefit: All models with motors powered solely by electricity are exempt from annual Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program tests, which saves you the $30 testing fee and the time and effort of scheduling a VEIP appointment.

Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and U.S. Energy Information Administration all agree that electric vehicles are smart investments after researching current pricing and driving trends.

The price of electricity is historically lower than the price of gas.
U.S. drivers pay an average of $188 per month for gasoline.
