Michigan has no statewide cash rebate for EV buyers right now, so the case here is built on running costs and utility programs. Residential electricity here averages 19.0 cents per kWh, above the 18.5-cent national average, and annual registration for an EV runs about $355 against $155 for a comparable gas car.

Both major Michigan utilities run residential Level 2 charger rebates paired with off-peak EV rates, which is where Michigan's support sits in the absence of a purchase rebate.
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 Michigan electricity rate, gas price and annual registration fee change what you pay every year. Run the numbers with Michigan selected to see the three-year picture.
