Zero emission vehicle programs

You can save thousands of dollars when buying a zero emission vehicle (ZEV), like an electric car or a plug-in hybrid car. You may be eligible for multiple programs.

Switching to a ZEV is one of the best things you can do to fight climate change and improve air quality. ZEVs are cleaner than gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks, even when accounting for the electricity they use.

ZEVs also save you money. The electricity to power the car is cheaper than gas or diesel. ZEVs also have lower maintenance costs.
