Under Rate RT the rate charged during off-peak periods is lower than the rate charged during on-peak, reflecting the fact that the total cost of electricity is lower during the off-peak. This is also true of the seasonal differences in the rate. Rate RT charges are lower during the cooler winter months than during the summer when the demand for electricity is the greatest.

Incentive amounts currently range from $4,250 for an eligible new battery electric (BEV), $2,250 for a plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), and up to $9,500 for a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) when a Standard Rebate is combined with Rebate+ New for Rebate+ qualified individuals (see program website for eligibility details).

A federal tax credit is available for new and used electric vehicles that meet requirements specified in Internal Revenue Code Section 30D.

New Vehicle Clean Credit up to $7,500.
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV between 2023 to 2032. Under certain conditions between a dealership and a seller, "leasing" a vehicle may allow the purchase to be treated as a "commercial vehicle," thus making it eligible for the full tax credit without satisfying some of the strict program eligibility requirements. Be sure to inquire with the dealership and a tax professional when researching purchase options.

Used Vehicle Clean Credit up to $4,000.
Beginning January 1, 2023, if you buy a qualified used electric vehicle (EV) from a licensed dealer for $25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a used clean vehicle tax credit. The credit equals 30% of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000. Additional Details.

The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

Starting in January 2024, an Inflation Reduction Act provision allows consumers to transfer the tax credit to car dealers, reducing the purchase price of eligible new and used vehicles at the time of sale.
