Up to $3,000
A credit against the vehicle excise tax on qualifying new EVs under a price cap, claimed through the MVA. The program is funded annually and stops taking applications once that year's money is committed, so buying early in the fiscal year matters.
Varies by round
A rebate towards residential charging equipment and installation, released in annual funding rounds.
Every figure above comes from a primary source. Programs open and close with state budgets, so confirm before you count an incentive into your budget.
Rebates change the purchase price once. Your Maryland electricity rate, gas price and annual registration fee change what you pay every year. Run the numbers with Maryland selected to see the three-year picture.
