Now Is the Time to Go Electric

With 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.

Whether you're looking to purchase or lease, now is a great time to lock in immediate, predictable savings. Register for our online webinar on June 17, 2026, 7–8pm: www.bit.ly/EV-101 – hear directly from EV drivers, get your questions answered, and take the next step toward going electric.
