Grants and Incentives

Reducing emissions from the transportation sector is one of the most important ways to reduce harmful CO2 emissions that contribute to a rapidly warming planet.

Charge Ahead Colorado Grant Funding

Available times a year and for some locations on a rolling basis.
The Charge Ahead Colorado Grant Opportunity is a statewide funding opportunity to improve air quality and encourage the deployment of electric vehicles across the state of Colorado. If you need assistance prepping or want to learn more about EVs and charging infrastructure contact Laurie.  This grant opportunity will fund up to 80% of the cost of an electric vehicle charging station, or up to these set maximums:

Tax Credits for EV and Alternative Fuels Adoption

There are numerous State and Federal tax credits available through the Infrastructer Bill for purchasing, leasing and adopting and converting to clean fuels and electric vehicles in Colorado. Check here for more details.

Give Up the Gas!

How much are we saving in CO2 emissions annually with each EV in the region?

  • 1 Conventional gas vehicle emits an average of 11,435 pounds of CO2 annually
  • Taking into account the Colorado electricity mix of sources from the grid (coal, wind, solar, etc.) the total emissions for one EV is 6,481 pounds of CO2 annually. See Dept. of Energy Alternative Fuels Data

What does that mean?

Each new EV in the region is saving an estimated 4,954 pounds of emissions per year. With 50 Nissan Leafs that equates to an estimated 247,700 pounds of CO2 emissions removed from our air in the region!

Medium Duty EVs

Lightning eMotors

Lightning eMotors came to town and the Fleet Managers had a chance to see the EV medium duty trucks hitting the road. Buses, shuttles and vans will be your next fleet purchases.

Thank you to the Durango Herald and Richard Ballantine for supporting this event!
