New battery for an old EV.
New skills for workers.
New hope for a family.
We’re on a mission to put the benefits of an electric vehicle within reach for low-income households.
A blessing and a curse
A car can lead to a better job, better education, and better life. But for a family living paycheck-to-paycheck, the expenses that come with a car can trap them at the bottom of the economic ladder.
Savings out of reach
An electric car can save a low-income family $1,500 a year on gas and maintenance - enough to cover a month of rent in many cities. But who’s saving that money? Spoiler alert: It’s not low-income families.
New life in an old EV
Many first-generation Nissan LEAFs now get as little as 50 miles to a charge. But a new battery can more than double that range, making it a viable and affordable EV for a low-income family.
