Next best action: run EV or Solar with your ZIP and household assumptions.

This state context is mixed enough that you should rely on the calculators with your exact assumptions before making a purchase decision.

Why

- Electricity is about 14.08 cents/kWh and gas is about $2.85/gal.

- There is no meaningful state EV incentive in this seed layer.

- Net metering remains supportive for solar-oriented households.

Caveats

- Climate pressure is moderate, but still not zero.

- This page is state-level context, not a utility-specific or roof-specific quote.

What would change this

- Higher annual miles usually improve EV economics faster than the state score suggests.

- A utility rate materially above the state average can weaken the result.

- Policy updates can move the recommendation quickly.
