We are nearing a turning point in the electric vehicle marketplace, with prices dropping and over 30 makes and models on the road. It’s exciting – and confusing! With support from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Drive Electric Hudson Valley empowers drivers, car dealers and communities with:

consumer education through workshops and the media,
group purchases and discounts,
car dealer training and mentoring,
and help for communities with infrastructure planning and municipal procurement.
