Verified July 2026
Drive Clean is alive and freshly refunded ($30M in April 2026), no income test, no EV fee — one of the best remaining deals in the region. New EVs only, though.
The $7,500 federal new-EV credit and $4,000 used-EV credit ended September 30, 2025 — and the federal home-charger credit (30C) followed on June 30, 2026. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're reading an old script. (Charger installed on or before June 30, 2026? That one's still claimable on that year's return — IRS Form 8911.)
New EVs only (amount varies by MSRP/range), applied at the dealer. No income cap. Refilled with $30M April 2026. Used EVs get nothing.
Off-peak charging credits (~10¢/kWh midnight–8am) + sign-up bonus + summer peak-avoidance payments — averages ~$400/yr for typical drivers.
No EV registration surcharge as of 2026.
