EV Incentives & Tax Credits
The federal EV tax credit ended in 2025 — here's what that means and what's still on the table.
Quick Answer
The federal EV tax credit ended in 2025, so 2026 savings come from state rebates, electric-utility charger and off-peak rate programs, city and regional incentives, and manufacturer or dealer cash and lease offers. Eligibility is set by where you live and who supplies your power — check your state and utility before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there still a federal EV tax credit in 2026?
No. The federal clean-vehicle tax credit expired in 2025. Remaining savings come from state, utility, local and manufacturer programs rather than a federal credit.
What EV incentives are still available?
Many states offer purchase rebates or reduced registration fees, most electric utilities offer home-charger rebates and discounted overnight charging rates, and automakers frequently post their own EV cash or lease incentives.
How do I find incentives in my state?
Use the state incentive finder on this page, which queries the federal Alternative Fuels Data Center database of laws and incentives, then confirm current terms with your utility and dealer.
