Is an EV right for you?
- Can you charge at home, at work or at a nearby affordable charger?
- Does the car's real-world range cover your daily driving with room to spare?
- For a used EV, can you get a battery health report?
- Have you compared insurance quotes? EV insurance can cost more.
Other ways to save
Many electric utilities offer rebates on home chargers or special charging rates. If an EV is not a fit, a reliable, fuel-efficient used gas or hybrid car may be the better choice. See buying a used car on a budget.
Frequently asked questions
Is the federal EV tax credit still available?
No. The federal new and used clean vehicle tax credits ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
Do I need to trade in a car to get help?
Many income-qualified programs, such as Clean Cars 4 All and EVRAP, require you to retire an older vehicle. Others, like CHEAPR Rebate+, do not.
