GOING GREEN

Electric Cars…………. 21 Reasons why You should Own One Now

May Memorial is a sustainable green leader in our fleet of Green Prius cars. But now it’s time that we became a leader in Green electric cars. Every major car manufacturer—Ford, GM, Mini, Honda, VW, Fiat, Nissan, Tesla and others as of 2015 has an electric model. I just bought a BMW I3 all electric. Check out the really cool new electric Kia Soul EV that gets over 100 miles on a charge; available in NY soon. If you want to wait until 2017, General Motors has announced the Chevy Bolt a fully electric car for about $30,000 after the income tax credit that gets 200 miles on a charge.

MMUUS Green Sanctuary will be starting a list of folks interested in the Kia Soul EV so we can approach a dealer about getting them here and a discount. Email davidcashley@gmail.com to express interest.
