Join us for September’s Climate Fridays Santa Barbara as we celebrate National Drive Electric Month and explore the latest opportunities to make the switch to an electric vehicle. Climate Mitigation Program Manager Sean McArthur will share updates on EV rebates and incentives, including California’s new MyFirstEV program, which will provide first-time EV buyers with a $3,500 point-of-sale rebate, and the upcoming CPUC RIDE (Rideshare Incentives for Driving Electric) program. You’ll also hear about upcoming local events and car shows to check out EV options in person.

Climate Fridays Santa Barbara are hosted by CEC, the Society of Fearless Grandmothers Santa Barbara, and the Santa Barbara Sierra Club on the first Friday of each month to create space for fellow climate activists, students, allies, community partners, and friends to take collective action and collaborate to protect our planet.

This event is part of the Community Environmental Council's A Year of Active Hope, a series of free events hosted at our Environmental Hub to unite the community and create space for courage, connection, and change.
