Electric vehicles (EVs) are the most effective way of greatly reducing gases that drastically change our climate. While the purchase of even a relatively inexpensive new small EV is still out of reach for most lower-income Maine households, there is great potential among higher-income households to purchase them. If you are wavering on buying an EV, now is the time. Generous income tax credits are available for EV purchases but are threatened by the upcoming Trump administration. ~ Ronald B.
