Kennebunkport will take delivery of two electric vehicles with zero monthly payment leases. Town Manager Laurie Smith told selectmen that staff had been researching the suitability of electric and hybrid cars for municipal operations as part of the town’s climate change goals. She said she had been contacted by Rowe Ford of Westbrook, making the town aware of the offer from Hyundai on its Kona EV model. Together, rebates by Hyundai and Efficiency Maine total $25,250 per vehicle, Smith told selectmen on Thursday, Feb. 11. The result is a no-cost lease for up to 10,000 miles annually, for three years.
