Up to $5,000 income-qualified
Vermont combines a state purchase incentive for income-qualified buyers with Replace Your Ride and MileageSmart for used efficient vehicles, and several utilities stack their own rebates on top. The combination can be among the largest in the country for eligible households.
Typically $250–$600
Green Mountain Power, Burlington Electric and the co-ops each fund home charging equipment for their own customers.
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 Vermont electricity rate, gas price and annual registration fee change what you pay every year. Run the numbers with Vermont selected to see the three-year picture.
