Incentives & Programs

Electric vehicles are becoming more common in Missouri because they are fun and exciting to drive, easy to charge and cost less to fuel and maintain.

Electric Vehicle Incentives

Incentives to convert your fleet to electric include:

  • Passenger vehicle federal tax credit: Most new passenger vehicles can receive up to a $7,500 federal tax credit. See incentives on the popular Nissan Leaf (PDF). 
  • Pay less at the plug: The cost of fueling an EV is less than half that of a conventional vehicle.
