State Incentives

Several states and local utilities offer additional electric vehicle and solar incentives for customers, often taking the form of a rebate.

Many states also offer non-cash incentives for electric vehicles, such as Carpool lane access in California and free municipal parking.

Be sure to visit the state program’s website for the most up-to-date information on availability and redemption requirements.

Your eligibility for income tax credits depends on your personal tax situation. We recommend speaking with a tax professional for guidance.
