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.
  • Play less at the plug: The cost of fueling an EV is less than half the cost a traditional vehicle, it's like paying $1 per gallon of gas!
  • Lower maintenance costs: All-electric vehicles have fewer parts to maintain, and no tailpipe means no emissions checks.
