would an electric car meet your driving needs? if you answer no, here is a revealing test. make careful notation of how many miles you drive each day. you might be surprised that you don't drive as many miles in a single day as you think you do. the aaa driving survey found the averages 30 miles a day. most never drive more than 100 miles on a workday, and every electric car can make it on a 100-mile charge, some 200, and some more than 300 before having to be plugged in. as for the cost, many are pricey, but a number of models are available starting at $40,000, and most studies showed that operating it is less than a comparable gasoline car. there are multiple rebate programs to help with the cost. one offers $1000 to $7,000 for new and eligible zero emission

cars. there are income cash and there are increasing rebates. the clean vehicle assistance program is a grant program for new or used cars that can only be redeemed from approved dealerships. eligibility is based on income and the application process takes three months or longer. clean cars for all is an income-based program administered through local places. mazda has unique solution with their new fully electric compact suv, aimed at citydwellers, the range is low, about 100 miles but get this coming anyone who buys or leases one will have access to other mazda vehicles with engines ten-day secure for three years. if you're not ready to make the leap for a fully electric car, a plug-in hybrid can be a great transitional technology. >> many people are using hybrids. they buy it for technology and find update the electric part of it meets their daily commute. it is a great way to get started. reporter: several models are

available, like ford and hyundai , a sweet spot where people are buying, compact suvs. if you want to go pure electric but feel priced out, there are hundreds and thousands that have been sold over the past 10 years and get traded in for new ones. shop at a dealership that will offer a warrant on the battery and electronic components. you might not get the incentives, but you're likely to get a bargain. still not convinced? maybe you have a neighbor or coworker who drives one. ask them about their experiences. sometimes electric car drivers make the best salespeople. who knows you could be one as well. kristen: his report is part of our latest installment called road to zero. it is available for streaming on multiple platforms.
