Vermont's state EV rebates are gone, but utilities pick up the slack: Burlington Electric pays up to $5,700 and GMP up to $2,500 through 2026. EV fee is $89/yr.
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.)
Both EXHAUSTED/closed: future funding requires new legislative authorization. Anyone advertising a "Vermont state EV rebate" is out of date.
$1,500 new EV / $1,000 lease / $1,000 used (PHEVs: $1,000 / $750 / $750), plus $1,000 more for income-eligible buyers of all-electric cars (max $2,500). Valid for vehicles bought or leased through 12/31/2026.
$5,000 new EV / $2,000 new PHEV / $1,300 used EV or PHEV (purchase or lease); income-qualified get more (up to $5,700 new EV). MSRP up to $60,000 and Burlington registration required. Valid through 12/31/2026.
