Electric Vehicles on the rise!

Watch this interesting animated graph as it outlines Electric Vehicle (EV) sales. It is exciting to see the popularity of EVs grow dramatically since 2012.

Be sure to check out OPALCO’s EV pages to find out more about the benefits of owning an EV, rebates we offer, and EV model comparisons.

If you are looking to install a home EV charging station, be sure to check out our Switch It Up! program that offers on-bill financing for qualified projects. OPALCO members are able to finance up to $2,500 for EV charging stations.

 

The sales figures come from InsideEVs sales scorecard, but this amazing in-motion visualization is the work @masegoslin .
