Do you have questions about electric vehicles? We have answers.
Benton PUD has launched an Electric Vehicle Plan called EV Connections and is offering a $250 rebate for qualifying electric vehicle purchases.

According to Bloomberg NEF, by 2037, electric vehicle sales are expected to surpass those of internal combustion engines. While less than 1% of national annual car sales in 2018 were electric, as of December 2019, there were about 300 Washington registered all-electric vehicles in Benton County.

Benton PUD is charging forward with EV Connections and is offering a $250 customer rebate for buying or leasing a qualifying new all-electric vehicle.
