Replace your traditional car with an electric vehicle

One of the major goals of Cupertino’s Climate Action Plan is to boost electric vehicle (EV) adoption—specifically to achieve 35% of vehicles being electric by 2030 and 100% by 2040.

Switching to an EV is likely the single-most impactful action you can take to reduce your carbon emissions. EVs significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, playing a critical role in mitigating climate change. They also offer other benefits like improved air quality, lower fuel costs, reduced maintenance needs, and enhanced driver safety. If you’re considering purchasing an EV, now is the best time in history to find an affordable vehicle with competitive federal subsidies and a wide array of makes and models available. The IRS offers an EV tax credit which can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing a new or used EV. Additionally, Silicon Valley Clean Energy offers an EV Assistant which can help you find the best vehicle and home charger based on your individual needs.
