Rhode Island State Tax Incentives for Purchasing a Used EV
1. Rhode Island DRIVE EV Rebate Program
Rhode Island offers the DRIVE EV program, which includes rebates for electric vehicles (EVs). Although primarily aimed at new EVs, some incentives may extend to used EVs depending on specific program updates. The rebate amount depends on the vehicle model and income eligibility.
2. Electric Vehicle Charging Incentives (National Grid)
National Grid, the main utility in Rhode Island, offers incentives for the installation of EV charging equipment at home. Although this rebate is for charging infrastructure, it pairs well with used EV purchases to reduce charging costs.
