ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Our industry strongly supports promoting and enhancing the electric vehicle market in Connecticut. We have joined forces with many environmental advocates and the State of Connecticut to provide incentives to consumers to purchase EVs. CARA assisted the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection in creating the CHEAPR program, which offers rebates for purchasing electric vehicles.  There are currently over 40 EVs on the market today, and many of these may be found at local dealerships in Connecticut. 

More information on the CHEAPR program and CARA winners of the CHEAPR EV Champions Annual Award.

CARA has made dealership charging stations at our dealerships open to the public, CARA has worked closely with DEEP and numerous respected environmental groups in this state to foster and encourage the sale of EV’s and CARA will continue to work towards efforts bringing clean efficient vehicles to our customers.
