Energy Adviser: Rebate available for electric vehicles By Clark Public Utilities
Share:
Just a decade ago, electric vehicles were a luxury available to the wealthy living in large cities, or were gasoline-powered vehicles creatively retrofitted by hobbyists to run on electricity.
But things have changed dramatically in the last few years. Nearly every car company offers at least one fully electric model, and used EVs are widely available with low-mileage at surprisingly affordable prices.
Clark Public Utilities is committed to helping Clark County experience the incredible fuel and maintenance savings, fun-to-drivability and tail pipe emissions-free lifestyle that comes with owning an EV. Through the utility’s recently approved Transportation Electrification Program, a new initiative which now offers financial rebates to put an electric car within reach of anyone who’s in the market for one.

Whether through mandates or merely goals, efforts to boost the use of electric vehicles in Washington are wise. The state, with an eco-conscious ethos, should be a leader in the global movement away from gas- and diesel-powered vehicles.
In the Legislature, House Bill 1204 reflects the thin edge between mandates and goals. The bill originally would have required that starting with the 2030 model year, vehicles must be electric in order to be registered and licensed in the state.
According to The Seattle Times, advice from the state attorney general’s office suggested that such a mandate would face legal challenges claiming it overstepped the state’s authority under the federal Clean Air Act and those challenges would delay implementation.
