Is it just us, or does every day feel like Earth Day right now? Outside our windows, flowers emerge from their slumber. Trees unfurl new leaves. And our beautiful green and blue planet continues spinning towards spring.
Another reason every day feels like Earth Day right now? Because every day is Earth Day when you drive and charge an EV. The lifecycle emissions of an EV can be up to 70% lower than that of an old-fashioned, polluting internal combustion engine (ICE) car. Investing in an EV and EV charger instead of fossil fuels is one of the best things you can do for our planet and all living creatures on it, including the health of children near you.
One way to celebrate Earth Day this year is to learn more about going electric, including exploring the thousands of dollars you can save with tax credits for an EV and an EV home charger.
There's never been a better time to buy an EV or EV home charger. In the U.S. right now, there are tons of federal, state and local tax savings and rebates for both EVs and EV home chargers. Here's an overview:
There are several tax credits available when investing in an EV or EV home charger:
You can receive tax credits and rebates for buying and leasing an EV in states ranging from Oklahoma and Illinois to New York and Colorado.

From local governments to utilities, many organizations and companies of all sizes are supporting the EV revolution. Not just because it's good for the planet but also because it's good for business. While we can't profile every local incentive across our many diverse communities, here's a snapshot of the local support that exists for buying an EV home charger:
The list goes on. And that's not including how you can save even more with discounted electricity rates for off-peak charging, special HOV access and the thousands of dollars saved from no gas and far less repair and maintenance.
