The EV tax credit in the IRA allows car
buyers to claim up to $7,500 in tax
credits for the purchase of a new electric vehicle.
Currently, there are new EVs on the market starting at

Protect your child’s health! The only way to know if your child has lead poisoning is testing. If your child is under 6, talk to your doctor or local health department to schedule a blood lead test today. Early detection can make all the difference! #NLPPW
