"PECO and ECOtality share a strong environmental commitment", said Craig
Adams, PECO president and CEO. "Locally, more and more of our customers are
exploring the use of electric vehicles and investing in this technology. To
support this effort, in June, we launched PECO Smart Driver Rebates. This
exciting programs offers rebates and incentives for residential and business
customers investing in new electric vehicle technology including a $50
rebate for residential and business customers who have purchased an electric
vehicle, a $1,000 rebate per unit for our government, institutional and
non-profit customers installing up to two Level 2 public chargers, and a up
to a $3,000 rebate for local counties who are installing a Level 2 public
charging station. And, as we continue our efforts, we also look forward to
working with The EV Project to support their efforts related to electric
vehicle infrastructure build-out and data collection in our region."

Across the Delaware, PSE&G is also joining the initiative in a portion of
its service territory. "We are a proud sponsor of The EV Project, which is
enabling our state to reap the benefits of electric vehicles by making it
easier for customers to operate their vehicles," said Ralph LaRossa, PSE&G
president and COO. "Electric vehicles go hand-in-hand with PSE&G's
commitment to the environment, and we look forward to helping our
participating customers in Camden, Burlington, Gloucester and Mercer
counties make a smooth transition to electric transportation."
