Austin Energy issues me Rebate Check #1
I thought that the group would like to know that I’ve been issued the first Austin Energy Electric Vehicles Rebate Program check for an EV conversion: File # EC0001 for $250. This is proof positive of their deep conviction in supporting grid vehicles and alternative energy. The money is great, but the sentiment is even better! I love Austin!
I’ve scanned the letter and check for you ogle. Many thanks to the AustinEV group for helping make this available to conversions!

Hi! I’m all new at this ev stuff, but I’m am sold completely on the idea. I’d really like to open a dealership in my town. We see over 1 million tourists per year. Wisconsin Dells is located between Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis/St Paul. Who do you recommend? I’d like to sell plug-in’s here. Where do I find out about this without being contacted by a scam? I’ve already found one person who got taken for a ride, no pun intended. So, …got any suggestions?

I’m glad that your excited about electric vehicles. The best way to get smart them is to buy an EV - that’s why I did my conversion to understand what it’s like.
There are lots of excellent entry EV choices - most are scooters or electric motorcycles (Vetrix or NMG). People have been successful selling those here in Austin. To my knowledge, the NEVs are not selling well. If you can establish yourself with small EVs then you could scale up as the market matures.
