Individuals residing in the state of Massachusetts can get a $1,500 or $2,500 rebate for purchasing a qualifying battery/fuel cell or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, respectively.

In the United States, 90% of the energy consumed for transportation comes from petroleum, and the transportation sector is the nation’s leading source of greenhouse gas emissions.

In an effort to desist from petroleum and lower emissions, many states have begun to offer incentives—often in the form of rebates—for purchasing electric vehicles. They help make electric vehicles accessible to more people.

Offers vary depending on the state, so the
