Did you know that individual purchasers of EV's can receive a Federal tax credit up to $7,500?

Buyers of plug-in hybrids and electric cars benefit from a tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the size of the battery in the car. The credit maxes out at $7,500 for cars with a 16 kWh battery pack, like the Chevy Volt.

Phaseout

The incentive begins phasing out after an automaker sells 200,000 vehicles that are eligible for the credit. So don't wait!

Better Electricity Rates

Did you know that many utility companies around the country offer special rates to reduce the cost of powering an electric car or plug-in hybrid? Follow up with your local utility provider to ensure you aren't paying more than required to charge your vehicle.

Save on Insurance

Several national insurance companies offer discounts of 5 percent or more for owners of electric and hybrid cars. To find out more, inquire with your insurance agent for details.
