        • About Electric Vehicles Ashland (EVA)

          Our goal is to expand Ashland and the Rogue Valley's electric fleet and bring attention to the feasibility and economic benefits of EVs.

          Electric Vehicles Ashland

          Moving Ashland off fossil fuels, one EV at a time

          Electric Vehicles Ashland (EVA) is creating a pool of electric vehicles (EVs) for local businesses and other organizations that provide services in Ashland (e.g. food or floral delivery, real estate, home medical care, food bank, hospitality, etc.). New and low-mileage used vehicles can be purchased by participants, with monetary incentives and a fleet discount from EVA. All residents of the Rogue Valley can participate as well, and will receive the same fleet discounts as businesses.

          Incentives

          Businesses and non-profit organizations get the following EVA rebate (in addition to state, federal, and city credits):

          • Electric car purchases by businesses – $1,500 for first 2 participants, $1,000 for others
          • Electric car leases by Ashland businesses – $500
          • Electric bikes for business travel – $300
          • Non-profit organizations – Additional $500 for car purchases or $250 for leases or e-bikes
          • Grant monies are limited: first come, first served

          Cost

          EVA incentives (for high mileage businesses) and fleet discounts (for all participants) reduce the cost of EVs

          Low mileage (around 10-20k miles) previously-owned cars can cost as little as $4,000 (after the incentive) while new cars are expected to cost $20,000-$40,000. State and federal tax credits of up to $12,500 are available for new car purchases, and up to $2,500 for a used car purchase, depending on eligibility. An additional EVA incentive of $1,000-$2,000 is available for local businesses and non-profits.

          Eligibility

          Businesses and non-profit organizations are eligible for EVA incentives if the following criteria are met:

          • Majority (>50%) of daily travel of the vehicle must be in Ashland
          • Vehicle travels at least 25 miles per week, on average
          • Vehicle must be all electric (plug-in hybrids not eligible)
          • Vehicle must be purchased or leased, and delivery taken, between July 2018 - June 2019
          • Purchase price of vehicle is under $50,000
          • Recipient will display a non-intrusive EVA sign on the vehicle for at least one year upon purchase or lease (style negotiable)
          • Recipient agrees to report mileage, approximate charging cost, service or maintenance costs, over the course of one year

          New or Used EVs

          EVA helps you purchase many makes and models of EVs

          Including (but not limited to):

          BMW i3

          Chevrolet Bolt

          Chevrolet Spark EV

          Fiat 500e

          Kia Soul EV

          Nissan Leaf

          Smart Fortwo EV

        • Approximate Price List

          These are approximate prices - the exact used vehicle miles and price depend on what is available at the time. New cars are listed by MSRP but fleet discounts will lower the price further. Qualifying businesses and non-profits get an ADDITIONAL $1,000-$2,000 EVA incentive.

           

          You are also welcome to find your own vehicle and still apply for the incentives!

           

          A City of Ashland incentive of $500 for a workplace charger is available through March 2019.

        • Did you know... ?

          EVA Incentives

          If you are one of the first 2 eligible businesses to purchase a car through EVA, you will receive a $1,500 incentive. If you are a non-profit, you will receive a $2,000 incentive.

          95g CO2/mile

          In Ashland, a gas-powered car produces 381 grams of CO2e (equivalent) per mile while a Chevy Spark EV produces just 95 grams of CO2e per mile.

          $12,500 in rebates

          State rebates of $1,500-$2,500 and federal rebates of $2,500-$7,500 are available for purchase of new EVs. Additional state rebates of $2,500 are available for new or used EVs for low to moderate income households.

          25% of your household emissions

          In Jackson county, about 20-25% of household emissions come from cars and light trucks. This can be cut by more than half with an EV.

          50% less oil

          If EVs were widely adopted, we could cut the nation’s demand for oil in half.

          $6,617 saved

          If you drive 15,000 miles/yr., you save $6,617 in gas over 5 years.

          20 minutes fast charge

          With a fast charge port, you can charge many EVs 80% in 20 minutes.

          No oil changes!

          EVs have no oil or fluids to change, spark plugs or wiring to replace, or emissions tests, saving even more $$.

          1,248 charging stations

          The state of Oregon has 1,248 public chargers and a goal of 50,000 EVs by 2050.
