Government incentives for EVs can be both federal and state. Federally, the U.S. offers a tax credit up to $7,500, but it depends on the car's battery size and manufacturer eligibility. Many states also have their own incentives, like rebates or tax credits, which vary widely by region. If you lease, incentives often reduce the lease price upfront since manufacturers claim them. Eligibility requirements generally include buying a new qualifying EV and retaining it for a certain period. Checking the Department of Energy’s or your state's website for specific details and application processes is a great start.
