Simply put, a green vehicle is more efficient and less polluting than a conventional vehicle. Eco-friendly vehicles run on a variety of fuels that “burn” cleaner than gasoline or diesel. Because the level of greenhouse gas emissions depends on the source of the fuel, alternative fuels generate fewer tailpipe emissions.
While green vehicle eligibility may vary depending on the incentive program, these are the most common eco-friendly car categories:
Florida high-occupancy lane exemptions are one of the most exciting Jaguar I-PACE incentives available to you as a green vehicle driver. Even if with no other passengers in your car, you’re still allowed to use the High Occupancy carpool/HOV lane if you’re driving an ILEV or hybrid certified by the EPA. To take advantage of this park, you’ll need to obtain an HOV decal from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Here’s what you need to know:

Vehicles with a battery less than 15 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in capacity may receive a $500 credit, and PHEV green vehicles with larger battery capacity are eligible for $1,000. To claim your credit, bring a copy of a valid Florida vehicle registration, proof of sale, and a recent JEA Electric bill.

It’s propelled by two electric motors, rather than combustion-triggered pistons.
Not at all. In fact, they’re far easier to maintain than gas-powered vehicles. AAA has determined that, on average, EVs costs $330 less to maintain each year than vehicles with combustion engines. Over the lifetime of your EV, you’ll save thousands of dollars. After all, you’ll need brake repair far less frequently, and you can say goodbye to oil changes, belt replacements, transmission fluid changes, and more!
