Take Use of EV Incentives and Go Electric!

Did you know that there are currently federal and state electric vehicle and charging incentives available to residents in California? As both gas and car prices continue to rise with tariffs, you can take advantage of these incentives while they are still available to help lower the upfront cost of a vehicle, avoid future gas station trips, and reduce your carbon footprint. Electric vehicles help reduce emissions and offer lower long-term costs on fuel and maintenance. The Federal Inflation Reduction Act offers a tax credit of up to $7,500 for eligible new electric vehicles and $4,000 for eligible used electric vehicles, along with tax credits for home chargers and home energy storage for up to $1,000. California’s Clean Cars 4 All also provides up to $12,000 in incentives for low-income customers in to purchase or lease new or used electric vehicle.

To discover and track all local, state, and federal incentives, check out incentive searches such as Electric For All, Drive Clean, and the California New Car Dealers Association.

Interested in buying or leasing an EV, but not sure where to charge it? There are several charging station maps available to help you discover where to fuel your car. The Alternative Fuels Data Center and PlugShare are two reliable resources to track down the nearest charging station!a
