Drive Green

Drive Green’s mission is to protect our climate and environment by getting electric vehicles on the road in place of gas-powered cars. Through pre-negotiated discounts to purchase or lease, educational resources, advocacy, and test-drive opportunities, Drive Green’s one-of-a-kind platform makes going electric the right choice for our planet and the smart choice for your life.

1. Fill out our form: choose the cars, dealerships, and deals that you’re interested in.
2. Connect with dealers of your choice.
3. Test-drive if desired.
4. Buy or lease your new ride with a Drive Green discount (Time restrictions apply to deals)
5. Green up your ride with wind power (optional)

To the best of our ability, the prices on our sign-up form represent the price of the vehicle after federal tax credits, any state rebates for which you might qualify, and the Drive Green discounts. Ultimately, it will be your responsibility to determine all costs, including taxes and fees. The final transaction will be between you and the car dealer. Now it’s up to you to choose which dealers you want to visit!

Participating dealers have committed to offering discounts, keeping electric cars in stock, and having knowledgeable staff to help you review the cars. Remember: It’s up to you to read up on the cars and their maintenance, visit the dealers, ask them a lot of questions, and test drive. But first, you must sign up for discounts on our form.

The discounts offered will change periodically throughout the program. See the listed end date for each deal you are considering.

If you need a car, let us convince you that it should plug-in--either an all-electric (or battery electric) or an extended-range plug-in hybrid. Surveys show that the more people know about electric vehicles (EVs), the more they want them. And people who already have EVs report high customer satisfaction. That's because EVs are cheaper to run per mile, require less maintenance, and pollute less; they’re a win for consumers and the environment. Learn more about the benefits of EVs below:

Widespread adoption of electric cars is necessary to solve the problem of climate change. An all-electric or battery-electric vehicle will reduce your transportation carbon footprint by nearly 75%.

With federal, state, and dealer incentives, most of the cars offered through Drive Green cost much less than the average new car in America. The average selling price of a new car as of December 2019 is nearly $39,000. After accounting for federal tax credits, state rebates, and dealer discounts through Drive Green, you can get a great electric car for much less money that emits 70% less carbon dioxide.

And your new electric car will cost less to operate than a gasoline-powered car. Electric motors and batteries require less service and are easier and cheaper to maintain than internal combustion engines.
