Charging Up Connecticut’s Transportation Sector

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), in partnership with the Department of Transportation, recently announced an initiative called EVConnecticut, which seeks to promote electric vehicles. The initiative’s website describes the benefits of owning an electric vehicle and how to take advantage of federal tax credits available to purchasers of these vehicles. It also describes state incentives (up to $2,000 per electric vehicle charger) and federal tax credits for facilities installing publicly accessible EV charging stations. 

Further information about the initiative, including a map of electric vehicle charging stations, is available at a new page on DEEP's website.
