Clean Energy Hero:
Central Coast Community Energy Granted David Stewart Funding for an Electric Vehicle and Charging Station
As a small business owner of a hair salon, David Stewart’s finances were impacted as their salon Parlour in downtown San Luis Obispo remained closed during COVID, and while their car lease was coming due. Stewart knew he wanted an EV but found himself without a down payment that he normally would have for his next car.
|
|
|
|
Central Coast Community Energy’s electric vehicle program, Electrify Your Ride, helped David Stewart get creative and get into the EV he wanted. Stewart considers these EV and EV charger incentives, which is the most money he has received from any agency through this hard time, as his very own COVID financial relief. “Programs like CCCE’s electric vehicle and charging station program are not just helping people go electric,” shares Stewart, “but it’s helping middle income families and business owners who normally would have the means to get into their next car.”
|
|
If you have not yet applied for CCCE’s electric vehicle and charging station program, you can look forward to funding under CCCE’s updated Electrify Your Ride program which combines rebates for both vehicles and chargers into one program launching in late 2021 Check here for any updates on CCCE funding to electrify your transportation! |
