Electric Vehicle & Solar Incentives
Several government entities and local utilities offer electric vehicle and solar incentives for customers, often taking the form of a rebate or a tax credit. Rebates can be claimed at or after purchase, while tax credits are claimed when filing income taxes. Find state and local-specific incentives available in your area.

Depending on your location, state and local utility incentives may be available for electric vehicles and solar systems. Most rebates can either be claimed after purchase or reflected as a reduction in the price of your purchase.
Many states also offer non-cash incentives for electric vehicles, such as carpool lane access and free municipal parking.
Some communities and utility companies also offer additional incentives through cash back, discounted rate plans and other credits.
