Colorado wants more electric cars on the roads. So it's offering up to $26,500 in discounts

Here’s one way to quantify the magnitude of Colorado’s bet on electric vehicles: It will soon be possible to qualify for discounts worth $21,000.

Add an additional rebate from Colorado’s largest power provider, a resident buying a new plug-in car could soon save a head-spinning $26,500.

That’s not a typo.

Colorado’s current $5,000 tax credit is already the most generous state-level incentive available to all residents. With additional programs set to go live in the next few months, the state is now poised to test the full power of EV discounts — a pillar of the statewide plan to reduce carbon emissions. Gov. Jared Polis is betting the strategy can help reach a goal of putting nearly a million plug-in vehicles on the road by 2030.
