PUEBLO, CO. – Sept. 22, 2022 – During National Drive Electric Week, Sept. 23 through Oct. 2, Black Hills Energy is placing the spotlight on its Ready EV program and the resources available to help drivers make the switch to an electric vehicle. 

“With rebates for home and business EV charging equipment, Black Hills Energy is making electric vehicle charging more convenient, more affordable and more accessible for customers,” said Erik Lundeen, Black Hills Energy’s EV program manager. “With the growth of charging infrastructure in our communities, an electric vehicle is quickly becoming a car for everyone.” 

“Our Ready EV program is designed to help open doors to EV ownership so our customers can start enjoying the cost savings associated with driving electric,” added Lundeen. “Not only are electric vehicles easier on the wallet in terms of fuel savings and lower maintenance costs, but they also provide important environmental benefits in terms of cleaner air quality for all to enjoy.”

"With rebates to significantly lower the cost of EV charging equipment, upfront electric vehicle purchase rebates for income-qualified customers, and a new time-of-day rate option to support EV charging, we are very pleased to support our customers as they make the transition to an electric vehicle,” said Lundeen. 

Ready EV is a program available to Colorado residents and businesses receiving electric service from Black Hills Energy. Learn more at blackhillsenergy.com/ev.
