Electric Vehicles EVs
The Town of Philipstown has partnered with Sustainable Hudson Valley and several dealerships in the area to make it easier and more affordable to switch to an electric vehicle. We are putting on test drive events and electric vehicle car shows so people can learn more about the benefits of switching.
Sustainable Hudson Valley put together a great Q and A about electric and hybrid cars. https://sustainhv.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Electric-Car-FAQ.pdf
According to Town Supervisor Richard Shea “The benefits of owning an electric vehicle are why you see so many people switching over. Lower cost of operation, no petroleum based fuels and saving the planet for our children is why it makes perfect sense. I look forward to my next truck being an EV. Once you have the information you will see why an electric vehicle is a smart choice.”
EV owners can access New York’s Drive Clean Rebate, discounts on tolls, and a federal tax credit. Lower operating costs – typically around $1.00 per gallon equivalent.
We are keeping track of how many electric and plug-in hybrids are purchased in Philipstown. Please email us if you purchased one from July 2021 onward. csphilipstown@gmail.com
