Driving green increasingly means driving electric. The automobile industry is increasingly moving to electric vehicles as the future of transportation. Each model year brings more options for “greener” driving, including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and all-electric vehicles.
The Solarize Plus Needham program that is getting underway way in September 2019 features a Drive Green component in partnerships with Green Energy Consumers Alliance’s Drive Green program. We encourage you to check out the Drive Green program below from the non-profit Green Energy Consumers alliance, and to use these pages as a resource for all things EV.
