PARK PLACE AND EARTH DAY Since 1970, Earth Day has been an opportunity to educate and inspire Americans about the impact we all have on our environment. On Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22, Park Place Dealerships marked the event with an opportunity for Texans to learn about electric vehicles. A 2022 study from Consumer Reports showed that a growing number of consumers are eager to buy an electric vehicle (EV). Nearly half of the 8,027 respondents were unaware of existing federal and state incentives available to purchase an electric vehicle. In this same study, consumers would consider buying an EV for the following reasons: • It costs less to charge an EV than to refuel a gas car. • Lifetime costs are lower. • Maintenance costs are lower.
