Live the electric life.
For BC drivers, it’s easier than ever to go electric. Whether you live in the city or in the mountains, on the coast or in the north, driving an electric vehicle is not only possible; it’s also convenient.
Electric vehicles are affordable.
For real. With no belts and spark plugs, oil and exhaust, maintenance is a breeze. Plus, charging costs approximately 75% LESS than fueling up with gas. Electric vehicles make financial sense.
Electric vehicles are for everyone.
Not just luxury cars; there are affordable electric vehicles too. Not just for city drivers; rural communities have charging stations, too. Not just for running errands close to home; take a road trip.
Electric vehicles are easy.
Charge up at home, while you’re sleeping. Charge up at the grocery store, while you’re shopping. Preheat the car on a cold day without harmful and expensive idling. The electric life is the simple life.

On the Road to Savings

Electric commutes for a career she loves
To avoid paying roughly $450 per month in maintenance and fuel costs with her existing vehicle, she switched to a Chevrolet Volt and realized immediate savings.
