  • Incentives

    Several rebate and credit programs exist to save EV owners money, to reduce the initial cost and to support a smooth transition in transportation electrification. The availability of these financial incentives depends on your location, and new programs can open anytime. The information below can guide you and provide details on the qualifications for receiving rebates and credits, helping you take full advantage of these opportunities! 

    Electric Vehicles:

    Tax credits and direct pay up to $7,500 are available for many EVs purchased for personal use. There are specific qualifications depending on when the vehicle was purchased and other factors. Even private sales can be eligible for these tax credits, through innovative programs such as KeySavvy.

    Charging Equipment:

    Whether you want to buy an EV charger for your home, business, or non-profit the equipment may qualify for tax credits (or direct pay for organizations that do not pay taxes) and other incentives to offset the cost.  

  • Fuel Savings

    Although some EVs have a higher up-front cost than their gas-powered counterparts, they have lower fuel and maintenance costs that add up over time.  

    Fuel Savings Calculator:

    According to the U.S. Department of Energy, in 2023, it cost a national average of about six dollars ($6) to drive 200 miles in an EV. See how much you can save using this fuel savings calculator.

     

  • Maintenance and Batteries

    While savings on maintenance depends on the driver, vehicle type, and even the location, overall savings are experienced by EV drivers. The Consumer Report estimated that EVs owners save about $4,600 in maintenance cost over the life of the vehicle. These savings are a result of less moving parts (about 1,980 less), so EVs do not require oil changes, coolant flushes, air filters, spark plugs, belts, hoses, or mufflers. 

    The batteries in electric-drive vehicles are generally designed to last for the expected lifetime of the vehicle. Like the engines in conventional vehicles, the advanced batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) are designed for extended life but will wear out eventually. Many manufacturers offer 8-year/100,000-mile warranties for their EV batteries.
