EV Incentives

The Tesla Roadster qualifies for a $7,500 US federal tax credit*(acquired pre-2010 & acquired in 2010). As the owner of a zero-emissions Tesla, you may be entitled to a variety of state and local government incentives, depending on where you live. We’ve put together a list of incentives to give you an idea of what’s available in your hometown. The Alternative Fuel and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC) is a good resource to keep up on the latest incentives.

A couple of things you should know: Many of the incentives require that Tesla Motors certify the vehicle status as an alternative-fuel vehicle on a state-by-state basis. We’ve started this process, but it might take some time. Also, state incentives can be difficult to interpret and are subject to change.  We recommend that you consult your local tax professional.

*Incentive is not currently applicable on Tesla leased vehicles.
