Massachusetts Still Has EV Purchasing & Leasing Incentives - CleanTechnica

Massachusetts continues to offer substantial incentives for purchasing and leasing electric vehicles (EVs), aligning with its progressive environmental stance. The MOR-EV Standard rebate provides $3,500 for eligible new EVs and the same amount for income-qualified buyers of used EVs. Additional rebates of $1,500 are available for income-qualified residents, with an extra $1,000 rebate for those trading in internal combustion engine vehicles for EVs. This means a qualified buyer could receive up to $6,000 in total rebates, making EVs like the Chevy Equinox or used Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 significantly more affordable. Beyond financial incentives, the article highlights the environmental and health benefits of transitioning to EVs. Massachusetts faces serious risks from climate change, including coastal impacts affecting millions of residents. Moreover, air pollution from fossil fuel combustion—primarily from vehicles—causes thousands of premature deaths and numerous health issues annually in the state. The persistence of toxic pollutants from fossil fuels also harms ecosystems.
