All these events are online, free, and open to the public:

- January 21st, 7pm – EV Financial Incentives Clinic (Taller de Incentivos Financieros Para Vehículos Eléctricos) – A deep dive into the many financial assistance programs available to income-qualifying consumers. (English and Spanish)
- January 28th, 4pm – EV 101: Electrify Your Ride – A review of available electric vehicles, charging, incentives, total cost of ownership, and a chance to hear from EV owners.
If you have questions and can’t make it to one of these Zoom webinars, email Drive Clean Bay Area at info@drivecleanbayarea.org. You can also check their events page for more events coming in February.
