Go electric with government support

By Anne-Christine Strugnell, Green Change

Tax credits and rebates from the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) or local governments make it more affordable than ever to electrify or save energy in your home or on your ride. 

Use this handy Electrification Savings Calculator from Rewiring America to figure out how much you could save from a variety of energy-saving household investments or from buying or leasing an EV. 

You can also get financial incentives to electrify your home or ride from state, regional or local governments. If you live in the Bay Area, you can get rebates for energy upgrades from BayREN or PG&E. And Marin County’s Electrify Marin program offers rebates to replace gas appliances with all-electric units.  

Take the next step: show everyone you know how the government’s commitment to climate action can benefit them, too.
