EV Technology & Incentives

EV charging station installed by Wolf River Electric for convenient and efficient electric vehicle charging solutions. You may not have one yet, but EVs are coming. Let us help you plan your solar installation for this inevitability. We can tell you what to expect with your EV purchase, and we can help you size your system based on your driving habits and the model of your car. A hardwired, high-output Level 2 charger can be installed in your garage or carport as part of your solar system. Start investing now so you are ready for the future.

Tax credits are based on the battery size and go up to $7,500 for customers who purchase an Electric Vehicle, but they won’t last forever. The expiration date is separate for each manufacturer and occurs after an automaker sells 200,000 qualified vehicles. With so many new manufacturers moving toward electric vehicle production, now is the time to make the switch. Check with your local utility company for more incentives before they’re gone. Learn more about EV charging.

Make Your Roof Work Harder

In reality, replacing the roof at the same time as installing solar is ideal. You can roll the cost of your roof into your solar loan, and you may be able to get federal and state credits on the cost of doing both. Wolf River Electric can help with both!

An added benefit is that having solar on a roof can actually stabilize it and make it last even longer. Don’t wait. Let us help you with both.
