Next best action: run EV or Solar with your ZIP and household assumptions.
This state combines decent operating economics with policy or grid support strong enough to justify a serious EV evaluation.
Why
- Electricity is about 27.28 cents/kWh and gas is about $4.85/gal.
- State EV incentives can add about $2,000 of support.
- Net metering remains supportive for solar-first households.
Caveats
- Climate penalties are moderate, but still not zero.
- This is a state layer, not a utility-specific quote.
What would change this
- A higher-mileage household improves the EV case faster than the state score alone suggests.
- A worse-than-average utility rate can weaken the result even in a good state.
- Policy and rebate changes can move the recommendation quickly.
