The brand-neutral website walks people interested in EVs through the entire EV-buying process, from narrowing vehicle options and estimating total costs to comparing home chargers and connecting buyers with PlugStar-certified automotive dealerships across the country.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Plug In America, a national nonprofit accelerating the shift to electric vehicles (EVs), officially unveiled the latest iteration of PlugStar.com, which the organization revamped this year in a major leap forward.

PlugStar.com is the best information and shopping site dedicated to EVs in the U.S. The site uses a visitor's ZIP code to provide the most pertinent information from EV models and incentives to local events and educational information.

"PlugStar.com is the most sophisticated tool available to EV buyers," said Joel Levin, Plug In America's executive director. "EVs are different, and EV buyers have a lot of specialized questions they need answered to find the right car for their needs. Our expert staff has pulled together the best data on vehicles, incentives, charging equipment, electricians and dealers to make a state-of-the-art, essential resource for anyone looking to buy or lease an EV. This site has everything you need before you walk into a dealership."

PlugStar.com visitors can:

• Find EV models that match their lifestyle with the easy-to-use Shopping Assistant tool and enhanced filters
• Discover incentives, both for a specific vehicle and those available for chargers and electricity, at the national and state levels, and the local level where Plug In America has partnerships
• Learn details about each electric vehicle model, complete with a customizable calculator for buying, loaning or leasing, and compare vehicle features side by side
• Find public charging locations or a home charger to install
• Connect with a PlugStar-certified dealer knowledgeable about EVs and easily identify IRS-registered dealerships that offer the EV tax credit for new or used vehicles
• Find places to test drive an EV, including events

Plug In America's new filters allow consumers to find cars that fit their needs faster, whether they need a certain drivetrain or trailer hitch, require a minimum number of seats or want a vehicle with superior fast charging capabilities.

Besides helping U.S. consumers, Plug In America offers a white-label version of the site to utilities, government agencies and other organizations.

All visitors who create a PlugStar.com profile before the end of the year will be entered into a drawing for a $250 gift card. Plug In America will contact the winner by Jan. 15, 2025.

To become a PlugStar-certified dealer or to be added to the IRS-registered dealer list, email dealers@pluginamerica.org.

Plug In America partnered with Salvo Software in Vancouver, WA, to create the responsive website.
