DRIVEEV: Residents can now save up to $3,000 for qualified new battery and fuel cell electric vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs) and up to an additional $1,500 based on income eligibility.
PowerUpRI: Residents can now save up to $800, or 100% (whichever is less) of the purchase price of a Level 2 Residential EV Charger, and $1,000, or 50% (whichever is less) of the installation costs of a Level 2 Residential EV Charger.
