There are plenty of reasons to be thinking about driving an electric vehicle these days. They cost far less to run than standard combustion engine cars, require less maintenance, are extremely efficient, quiet to run, eliminate tailpipe emissions, and are incredibly fun to drive. You can even charge them at home from a standard 120V outlet. 

Whether you're just beginning to think about replacing your current car with an electric model, or already driving one, here is some information you might find helpful.

Eligible applicants can receive a rebate for $500 or $600, and if income eligible up to $2500, to offset the cost of replacing an old, non-EPA certified wood stove or fireplace insert with a cleaner-burning stove or insert. Interested applicants in Placer and El Dorado counties can apply by calling the El Dorado Air Quality Management District at (530) 621-7501.

Sometimes power outages can happen because of weather conditions, unforeseen circumstances, public safety, and critical infrastructure work. Be prepared for an outage with Electric Portable Power Stations. Electric Portable Power Stations use battery storage and plug into an electrical power outlet to recharge. They can charge multiple devices such as laptops, cell phones, tablets, and other devices. Depending on your local internet provider, Electric Portable Power Stations can also power your Wi-Fi router for continued access to the internet.

Beginning July 1, 2021 residential customers who live in an area designated as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 high fire risk zone can receive up to five (5) $75 rebates for purchasing qualified Electric Portable Power Stations, per residential address.

There are an estimated 320,000 fireplaces and wood stoves in Sacramento County homes. Wood smoke created from the use of wood and pellets in these devices is a significant source of particulate matter, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, toxic air contaminants and odors, especially during the winter. These pollutants are linked to serious health impacts. 

The Sac Metro Air District is committed to reducing pollution coming from wood burning fireplaces and wood stoves. It has an incentive program that helps people change out their existing wood burning units to cleaner units, and an enforcement program to stimulate compliance with rules related to wintertime burning activities.
