A local campaign to increase EV ownership and fund clean energy projects

Drive Electric Nyack is a campaign to help residents make the transition to emission-free driving.  If you are considering going electric, the Nyack Climate Smart Committee can help you get the answers about vehicles, charging, incentives, and discounts.

Any purchase of a 100% electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle made after November 7, 2023, will contribute to the campaign goal of 70 new vehicle purchases.  Achieving our goal will make Nyack eligible for a NYSERDA grant of up to $27,500.  These grant funds will go toward clean energy projects in the Village. 

We can connect you with local electric vehicle owners who can provide first-hand experience. And we can help you navigate vehicle options ways to save, including:

  • NYS Rebates of up to $2,000.

  • Federal IRA tax credit of $7,500.

  • Green EZ-Pass - 10% discount on tolls. 

  • Save on fuel & maintenance costs.

  • Convenient home charging

  • Eligible models that can meet your price range and mileage range. 

Renters are welcome! Nyack is planning on installing additional car chargers that will be available to renters.
