Notes:
Data on this page is compiled from fueleconomy.gov and manufacturers' data and is for general informational purposes only. Data for vehicles labeled "coming soon" are estimates based on early reports and are not to be viewed as official. All prices, technical data points and features and figures may vary based on model year and trim level. Please visit the specific manufacturer websites or ask your dealer for the latest information about each vehicle.
1 Rebate+ qualifying individuals must meet one of these criteria:
- Reside in an Environmental Justice (EJ) Community or Distressed Municipality
- Participate in a qualifying state or federal income qualifying program
- Have income less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
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.
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.
In accordance with new IRS regulations, beginning January 1, 2024, Clean Vehicle Tax Credits must be initiated and approved at the time of sale. Buyers are advised to obtain a copy of the IRS’s confirmation that a “time-of-sale” report was submitted successfully by the dealer. Go to IRS publication 5900 to learn more!
