Electric Vehicle Offers & Information

SIEA is offering members a $500 rebate for the purchase of a qualified EV.

Level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) provides charging through a 240 V AC plug. Level 2 adds about 10 to 60 miles of range to a vehicle per hour of charging time, making it far more convenient than standard 120 V AC charging, which adds about 2 to 5 miles per hour of charging.

San Isabel Electric is offering a rebate for qualified DCFC (Direct Current Fast Charger) installations. DCFC enables rapid charging and is sometimes called DC Level 3 or DC fast charging. EVs equipped with either a CHAdeMO or SAE DC fast charge receptacle can provide most vehicles with a significant charge in minutes rather than hours.

If you install qualified vehicle refueling and recharging property at your home, including electric vehicle charging equipment, you may be eligible for a credit of up to $1,000 for each item of property.

A federal tax credit is available for new and used electric vehicles that meet requirements specified in Internal Revenue Code Section 30D.

New Vehicle Clean Credit up to $7,500.
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV between 2023 to 2032. Under certain conditions between a dealership and a seller, "leasing" a vehicle may allow the purchase to be treated as a "commercial vehicle," thus making it eligible for the full tax credit without satisfying some of the strict program eligibility requirements. Be sure to inquire with the dealership and a tax professional when researching purchase options.

Used Vehicle Clean Credit up to $4,000.
Beginning January 1, 2023, if you buy a qualified used electric vehicle (EV) from a licensed dealer for $25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a used clean vehicle tax credit. The credit equals 30% of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000. Additional Details.

The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

Starting in January 2024, an Inflation Reduction Act provision allows consumers to transfer the tax credit to car dealers, reducing the purchase price of eligible new and used vehicles at the time of sale.

Colorado taxpayers are eligible for a state tax credit of $5,000 for the purchase or lease of a new EV on or after July 1, 2023 with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) up to $80,000. Lease agreements must have an initial term of at least two years. Beginning January 1, 2024, Coloradans purchasing an EV with an MSRP up to $35,000 will be eligible for an additional $2,500 tax credit.

The Vehicle Exchange Colorado (VXC) program helps income-qualified Coloradans recycle and replace their old or high-emitting vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). The VXC rebate will partially cover the upfront cost of the EV at the time of purchase or lease from an authorized automobile dealer.
