Pittsburgh’s electric vehicle future is now.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the way we drive -- from personal cars to business fleets. And it’s clear why so many are making the switch from gas: superior performance, convenient charging, low fuel costs and reduced maintenance. Best of all, charging up in Pennsylvania results in just one third the emissions of a gas-powered car.

The EV Team is here to support everyone looking to join the future of driving, including:

  • Individual car owners seeking information and great deals on electric vehicles.
  • Property developers or managers or employers considering installing charging stations.
  • Organizations looking to upgrade their fleet to electric.
