Electric Vehicle Incentives for Vermonters

Vermont is a great state to purchase an electrified vehicle. Vehicle electrification is fully supported statewide thanks to a focus on sustainability, a deep connection to nature, and public support for protecting the natural beauty of the Green Mountains. To help drivers from all income levels wanting to switch to a pure electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), numerous programs are in place to help buyers leverage a range of incentives and rebates and make it easier to switch to an eco-friendly vehicle. Combined with the existing federal tax incentives from the Clean Vehicle Act, transitioning to an EV is more affordable than you think.

At The Automaster Honda, we carry the newest Honda hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and pure electric vehicles, like the new Honda Prologue. Our proximity to South Burlington and prime location in beautiful Shelburne, VT, allows us to serve Vermonters from all over the state and help drivers, no matter how rural, find an electrified vehicle that meets their lifestyle goals.

Clean Vehicle Act: Federal Tax Incentives

No matter where you live, even in states not as EV-friendly as Vermont, there are federal tax incentives available to help reduce the cost of purchasing or leasing a new EV or PHEV. New EVs can qualify for up to $7,500 in federal tax incentives. If you choose to buy or finance a new EV, then claim the vehicle on your next tax return and receive the incentive as a deduction of your total tax burden. The incentive reduces the tax liability and gives new EV owners around Burlington, VT, an indirect discount. The federal tax incentive is non-refundable and cannot exceed the total tax liability.

There are other limitations in place for an EV or PHEV to qualify for the federal tax incentive, including the vehicle type. MSRP, final assembly location, and battery materials sourcing. You can look up your desired vehicle to see if it qualifies for the Clean Vehicle tax credit by visiting the U.S. Department of Energy's website.
