Electric Vehicles, A Smart Transportation Choice.
Electric Vehicles Cost Less to Operate than Gas Powered Cars
Depending on the local prices of fuel and electricity, driving an electric vehicle can be three to five times cheaper than gasoline and diesel powered cars.
Never Go to the Gas Station Again
Electric vehicles don’t use gasoline or diesel. You can charge one at home with a standard 120V outlet. For faster, more efficient charging, a 240V level 2 unit can be installed.
Electric Vehicles are Environmentally Friendly
Electric vehicles have no tailpipe emissions. Mason PUD 3’s power is 98 percent carbon free. Since nearly all PUD 3’s electricity comes from hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear sources, it’s essentially emission-free.
Electric Vehicle Performance Benefits
Electric vehicle motors are quiet, with smooth operation, and stronger acceleration. They don’t need as much maintenance as gasoline or diesel powered internal combustion engines.
Electric Vehicle Driving Range & Recharge Time
An electric vehicle’s typical range is from 80 miles, to just over 300 miles on a full charge. The average person’s daily round-trip commute in the U.S. is less than 30 miles. It takes about four to eight hours to fully recharge a vehicle’s battery. A "fast charge" to 80% capacity can take about 30 minutes.*

Mason PUD 3 is Committed to Clean Energy, Which Means Clean Air
We’re glad to give you information about electric vehicles, and knowledge about how to create a healthy electric vehicle marketplace. Because most of the Pacific Northwest’s electricity comes from hydrower and other renewable sources, this is a great region to own an electric vehicle. When you drive an EV in Mason County, you’re trading fossil fuels (gasoline and diesel) for clean energy from hydropower, wind farms, solar power. Only two percent of Mason PUD 3’s electricity comes from fossil fuel-powered plants. When you choose an electric vehicle, you're definitely using less fossil fuels than a traditional gasoline or diesel-powered car.
