ELECTRIC WHEELS

Aside from walking, most of our transportation options involve wheels. Our goal is to use less gas so here are some electric vehicle (EV) alternatives. The lifetime cost of purchasing and owning an EV has come down dramatically in recent years, and can be on par with or even cheaper than the lifetime costs of a traditional gas-powered vehicle.

Consider test driving and buying:

  • an electric or hybrid car, truck, or SUV

    • Green Beverly has a new hyperlocal rebate program for residents who buy electric vehicles and supporting infrastructure. You can learn more, along with a breakdown of Federal and state tax incentives, on our Drive Green page

  • an electric motorcycle or moped

  • an electric scooter

  • an electric bike
