EV incentives in Vermont

Verified July 2026

State purchase incentives are dead — funds exhausted and nothing appropriated in the 2025 session. The utilities are the only game in town (and theirs are decent).

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.)

What VT offers on the purchase

New PEV Incentive + MileageSmart (used) suspended

Both EXHAUSTED/closed — future funding requires new legislative authorization. Anyone advertising a "Vermont state EV rebate" is out of date.
