JULY 2023
Considering An EV? Here’s What You Should Know
EV owners spend about 50% less on maintenance and repair than gas car owners. That’s one of the many reasons why people are ditching gas and going electric. One of our staffers just bought her first EV and has some tips to make your car buying journey a smooth ride. Read the blog below.
Plus, save the date! Our partners at Breathe CA are hosting a FREE Ride and Drive on Saturday, August 26 where you can get behind the wheel and take an EV for a spin.
BEAT THE HEAT WITH THESE SMART STRATEGIES
Summer is here which means so is warm weather. It's possible to stay comfortable while also saving energy.

INDUCTION COOKTOPS ARE ON THE JOB
What if your stove could save you money and time while resulting in cleaner indoor air? That's a lot to ask of an appliance, but induction stoves are on the job. In addition to these benefits, they are also safer to operate around children.

Learn more in our latest electric cooking blog.
SOLAR + STORAGE: A POWERFUL COMBINATION
