SUMMARY:From Gas Pumps to Charging Stations: EV Basics for Everyday Drivers
DESCRIPTION:Now Is the Time to Go Electric!\nWith local gas prices climbing toward $4.50 a gallon\, the financial case for making the switch to an electric vehicle has never been stronger. Charging an EV at home on Eversource East costs the equivalent of just $2.80 per gallon – saving drivers roughly 38% per mile. And the savings don’t stop at the pump. Because EVs eliminate oil changes\, spark plugs\, and complex exhaust systems\, they cost 30–50% less to maintain over their lifespan than gas-powered cars. All told\, drivers can expect around $4\,000 in total cost-of-ownership savings over the first five years. \nAlthough the supply of new EV models is a bit unpredictable at the moment\, there are still great options out there. And do not forget the used EV market\, where most vehicles are also eligible for the Massachusetts MOR-EV incentives ($3500). The volunteer inputting this information just turned in a 2023 Kia EV6 with only 17\,000 miles. A wonderful vehicle at a HUGE savings. We bought a 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 to replace the leased car and got a very good deal on the new vehicle. Please do not let our topsy-turvy market circumstances prevent you from finding a vehicle that you will love! \nWhether you’re looking to purchase or lease\, now is a great time to lock in immediate\, predictable savings. Hear directly from EV drivers\, get your questions answered\, and take the next step to going electric. Register for the MassEnergize online webinar on June 17\, 2026\, 7–8pm: www.bit.ly/EV-101.  \nAnd stay tuned for the EnergizeActon.org EV Petting Zoo coming up in July. This is a wonderful yearly event for EV drives to meet up\, plus potential EV drivers can check out the cars and ask lots of questions! \n  \n
