FirstEnergy Wednesday announced its Pennsylvania customers will be able to take advantage of special $3,000 rebates for all-electric cars from Nissan through June 30, or while supplies last.
FirstEnergy utilities in Pennsylvania include-- Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power and West Penn Power.
The rebate is in addition to the manufacturer incentives. The purchaser could also qualify for up to $7,500 in federal electric vehicle tax credits. FirstEnergy customers can use the special offers to buy cars off the lot or by ordering a vehicle.
To qualify for the savings, customers should show their FirstEnergy utility bill to participating Nissan dealerships.
"Electric vehicles are becoming more popular as people recognize the environmental and sustainability benefits they offer," said Mark Julian, vice president, Utility Operations, FirstEnergy. "These types of rebates offer an incentive for those customers who want to support this environmentally friendly technology."
The advantages of driving an all-electric vehicle include:
-- No gasoline – at the current U.S. national average price of 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour, electricity is roughly equivalent to gasoline at $1 a gallon.
-- No oil changes
-- Vehicle charging at home overnight
-- Virtually silent operation at low speeds and on highway
-- No emissions.
