A new tool is out that lets you search for EV incentives in your area, including not only the $7,500 federal incentive, but any other local incentives to help you save money when buying an EV.
The incentive tool is available at ElectricForAll.org, and is powered by Veloz, an EV advocacy nonprofit.
It's simple enough – you just enter your zip code and it tells you all the incentives you can qualify for.
The site includes grants in 49 states, every metropolitan area with a population of 50k or more, and every Justice40 community identified by the Biden administration. The only state that does not have incentives available outside of the state is Montana.
And it's not just the federal EV tax credit, but state, county, local, utility, and other regulatory incentives such as those that may be offered by your local air quality management district.
The site also has a shopping tool to sort through available EV products and see what's available, in case there's a model out there that you don't know. The site provides price estimates for each car, but the price estimates are behind the scenes – and you can click to see what incentives are used in the site's calculations.
You can learn more about used EVs and some of the best places to find them. Other incentives apply to used EVs as well.
In exploring the tool for my site, I found many incentives that I didn't know existed. Interesting, as I report on these types of benefits.
For example, in Southern California where I live, the South Coast Air Quality Management district has an incentive up to $12k to replace old dirty cars, California has a similar $12k incentive to replace old cars for low income drivers. in certain states, and Southern California Edison has a $1k-$4k rebate for pre-owned EVs.
There are also a number of incentives for home charger installation, including a 30% federal tax credit up to $1k, a $500 EV charger rebate from Southern California Edison, and up to a $4,200 home electrical panel upgrade rebate, and from -SCE.
I live in an area where there are many incentives available, but there may be incentives that you don't know about in your area. So enter your zip code on the website's search engine page and see how much money you can get for buying an EV.
