"Given the recent increase in gas prices and the low operating cost of an EV, more buyers are turning their attention to EV alternatives."
Many states offer additional sales tax exemptions and zero emission tax credits of up to $5,000 that can also be applied to the purchase. AMP is taking reservations for their all-electric vehicles at http://ampelectricvehicles.com/reserve
