Electric vehicles (EVs) have long captured the American imagination, but until recently, they have always been the wave of the future. High upfront costs along with a host of obstacles — including vehicle range and the lack of sufficient chargers — have long stymied the widespread implementation of EVs. But this is all changing rapidly.

Electric vehicle prices are falling rapidly, thanks in part to increased production and technological advances, and both federal and state incentives are making these types of cars even more affordable than ever. Here’s a look at the states that currently have the best electric vehicle incentives, based on data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center and the states themselves.

Colorado

Starting in 2023, Colorado lowered its EV credits a bit, but it still offers some of the best electric vehicle incentives in the country. Credits are the smallest for light-duty EVs, at $1,500 for leases and $2,000 for purchases, but they reach as high as $5,000 for leases and $8,000 for purchases of heavy-duty electric trucks.

As of now, these credits are slated to expire as of Jan. 1, 2026.

Connecticut

Connecticut’s CHEAPR program, which stands for Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate Program, offers rebates up to $9,500 for the purchase or lease of a new, eligible hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, all-electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Residents who participate in a state or federal income-qualified program may be eligible for an additional rebate, Rebate Plus, worth between $1,125 and $7,500.

Maryland

Maryland offers excise tax credits of up to $3,000 for qualified EV and fuel cell electric vehicle purchases. The cost of the vehicle cannot exceed $50,000. Until June 30, 2023 — unless extended — the state will also rebate up to 40% of the cost of acquiring and installing electric vehicle supply equipment, otherwise known as a charging station.

Rebates can reach as much as $700 for residential installations or $5,000 for businesses, nonprofits, workplaces, multi-unit dwellings, or state or local government entities.

California

California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project provides rebates to residents who purchase or lease new eligible vehicles. Those with lower incomes may also get enhanced amounts. Specifically, rebate amounts are $750 for zero-emission motorcycles, $1,000 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, $2,000 for electric vehicles and $4,500 for fuel cell electric vehicles.
