Vermont Still Has Electric Vehicle Incentives - CleanTechnica
The article highlights that despite the expiration of federal electric vehicle (EV) incentives in the United States, several states, including Vermont, continue to offer their own EV incentives. Vermont, known for its environmental focus and progressive politics, provides various rebates to encourage EV adoption. These include rebates for new and used all-electric vehicles ($2,200 and $1,500 respectively), plug-in hybrids ($1,000 new, $750 used), and an additional $1,000 rebate for income-qualified residents purchasing or leasing new or used all-electric vehicles. The state also supports home charging infrastructure by offering a free Level 2 charger and discounted charging rates through Green Mountain Power’s Home Charging program. Additionally, Vermont extends incentives to electric motorcycles and e-bikes, with rebates of $500 and $200 respectively. The article addresses the misconception that EVs are prohibitively expensive, noting that many models cost less than the average new car in the U.S., even before factoring in incentives and savings on fuel and maintenance
