Why Drive an EV?

Helping you live greener and drive cleaner.

Transportation emissions are the second largest source of carbon dioxide in the United States. Making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) means significantly reducing your carbon footprint. At Green Mountain Energy, we love supporting our customers’ sustainable lifestyles, and we can help you join the clean transportation landscape. Learn more about keeping your EV charged up for the adventures ahead.
 

Riding on Sunshine™

Your zero-emissions vehicle deserves to run on zero-emissions energy. With the Solar All Nighter for EVs plan, you get low-priced, 100% clean electricity at night when your EV will be charging the most.

Don’t own an EV, but still want to live green and drive clean? Our Solar with Green Mountain Driver plan is the right fit for people without an EV who still want to contribute to the clean-driving landscape.
 

Bring it all together with a rooftop solar panel system.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a rooftop solar power system to your home, then switching to an EV might be the perfect reason to get started. You could also save money on utility bills, boost your home’s value, make a difference for the planet and create a more sustainable home.

Pairing a level 2 charging station — the most convenient option for home charging — with a solar panel system is easy and seamless with Green Mountain Energy. When our installation partners install your residential solar panel system, they can also install a level 2 charger at the same time to support your EV. Plus, you’ll have access to an exclusive solar rebate* to help you save thousands on installation costs.
