It’s no DeLorean, but it’s the future!

Elec­tric Vehi­cles are becom­ing more pop­u­lar as our mem­bers and elec­tric con­sumers across the coun­try become more aware of the way elec­tric­i­ty is con­sumed. Accord­ing to a study com­plet­ed by the Edi­son Elec­tric Insti­tute, the Unit­ed States reached 1 mil­lion elec­tric cars on the road in 2018. Anoth­er 1 mil­lion will be on our roads by the end of next year, and up to 18 mil­lion by 2030. The inno­va­tion, ener­gy-con­scious design and eco­nom­i­cal mod­el is here to stay. It’s no sur­prise that we’ve seen an increase in EV invest­ments in our area and your co-op has noticed.

YEC is proud to intro­duce a new elec­tric vehi­cle (EV) incen­tive pro­gram to help sup­port our mem­bers’ deci­sions to decrease their car­bon foot­prints and mod­ern­ize their means of trav­el. Sign­ing up for one of our EV rates and installing a Lev­el 2 charg­er will pro­vide mem­bers with a $200 incen­tive while help­ing your co-op shift pow­er costs to off-peak times, when few­er mem­bers are using pow­er. If you have an EV or are con­sid­er­ing a pur­chase, please reach out to YEC’s Ener­gy Ser­vices Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Brent Clin­ton. He can help sign you up and answer your ques­tions as part of YEC’s com­mit­ment to always be your trust­ed ener­gy advi­sor.

Nigel Kingswood washing his electric car
[/me­dia-cred­it] YEC mem­ber Nigel Kingswood of Lake Wylie has found his EV very use­ful, espe­cial­ly dur­ing this pan­dem­ic. He par­tic­i­pates in our off-peak charg­ing pro­gram and is able to “refu­el” his bat­tery at night.

Pur­chas­ing an EV is an inten­tion­al invest­ment in a clean­er, brighter future which is like-mind­ed to how your co-op strate­gizes for what is to come. We are ded­i­cat­ed to cre­at­ing sus­tain­able oppor­tu­ni­ties that will car­ry YEC and our mem­bers into the future by study­ing smart solu­tions to improve your qual­i­ty of life. Although we are still like­ly to have roads, a ride in the DeLore­an would prove YEC’s con­tin­ued promise to serve you in the same mem­ber-focused, for­ward-think­ing way we have for the past 80 years. To the future and beyond!
