She was able to buy an electric vehicle (EV) through the used EV rebate program offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peninsulacleanenergy.com\/\">Peninsula Clean Energy<\/a>, a local community choice aggregator that provides clean energy to San Mateo County and Los Banos residents, in partnership with GRID Alternatives Bay Area. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe money that we are saving (on gas) allowed me to buy my mother a much lighter wheelchair that I am able to lift and put in the back of my new Chevy Bolt,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cShe has dementia and is very weak. But now I can take her places and we can actually do more things together.\u201d Morgan recently took her mother out to a Palo Alto restaurant, something that they had not been able to do without a reliable car and wheelchair. \u201cEven with the dementia she must have realized we hadn\u2019t done anything like this in a long time. She looked at me and said with so much feeling and joy, \u2018This is so nice to sit here at a restaurant and enjoy our time together.\u2019 These are the moments that I cherish with her now,\u201d Morgan said. <\/p>\n<p>Morgan\u2019s EV not only saved her money in a time when gas prices have soared, but it also allowed her to spend much-needed quality time with her mother. She has shared the program with all her friends and neighbors after receiving the rebate.
