Electric Vehicles

Reducing our reliance on gas-fueled cars offers many environmental benefits, including a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and energy use. Fewer car trips also lowers infrastructure costs. The Township supports alternative forms of transportation including public transit, ride-sharing, cycling, walking, and electric vehicles.

Why drive an Electric Vehicle?

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have become an increasingly important technology with excellent potential for reducing the cost and environmental impact of transportation. Using clean electricity to charge vehicles instead of fossil fuels has a drastic impact on transportation related GHG emissions and air quality.
