Drive Electric Colorado

Camping in an EV... it's clean, quiet, and better for the environment! Whether you're going to a dispersed site or a site w/ electric hookups, you can use your EV as a backup power source too. Tip: Use @Plugshare to find charging stations at campsites around CO! 📷: @jamin.westby

EVs 🤝 pets They just go together! These EVs have pet modes to keep your vehicle at a comfortable temperature if you need to do a quick errand: Tesla, Rivian, Lucid and VinFast. And other models like the F-150 are even goat-approved! Thanks @jamin.westby for the photos!

Did you know? @xcelenergy's income-qualified EV rebates are now stackable with the Colorado EV tax credit! This means you can save $10,500 for a new EV or $8,000 for a used EV! Xcel Energy incentives are also stackable with the federal EV tax credit of up to $7,500 for a new EV.

#MemorialDay is a time to pause and honor those who have sacrificed and served in defense of our freedoms 🇺🇸 Joining the nation in remembrance, our office will be closed today as we honor those who have served our country. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, May 28th.

EVs go beyond the road with bi-directional charging, powering tools, equipment, and homes. Lower cost of ownership give them an edge over gas vehicles. EV coach Ben saved $12,000 in gas and maintenance since 2019! 💸 @jamin.westby
