Federal Tax Credits for Used All-Electric, Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles and Fuel Cell Vehicles

Pre-owned all-electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell electric cars purchased on or after January 1, 2023, may be eligible for a federal income tax credit. The credit equals 30% percent of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000.

1 Rebate+ qualifying individuals must meet one of these criteria:

The CHEAPR program is able to process rebate applications from individual consumers who purchase or lease an eligible vehicle directly from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that does not have licensed franchised new automobile dealers in Connecticut (e.g., Tesla). However, when such vehicles are authorized for sale or lease within Connecticut, applicants will be required to purchase or lease such vehicles from retail locations located within the state in order to be eligible for the CHEAPR program.
