There’s no simple answer to that question. Other than entering the occasional giveaway, there is no way to get an electric car for free.
Don’t hang it up just yet! While you may not be able to get a free EV, many incentives and tax credits can help offset the costs.
Potential areas to save on electric car costs
Federal tax credit
If you meet the requirements, you may qualify for a
federal tax credit
of up to $7,500 on your electric car.
State tax incentives
Depending on your state, you may qualify for additional tax credits like California’s $2,000-$4,500 rebate.
Tax incentives for Tesla buyers
Tesla has its own private resources by state to help customers find even more potential savings before purchasing a new car.
Car Insurance savings
Don’t get stuck overpaying car insurance; instead, use it as another opportunity for savings.
