Funding
Alt. Fuel Tax Credit
Multiple tax credits exist to finance the purchase of Electric Vehicles, including a federal tax credit and a Colorado state tax credit. For Light Duty Vehicle tax incentives, your local ReCharge Colorado coach can assist you in determining what tax credits applies to your fleet. The credit amount will vary based on the capacity of the battery used to power the vehicle. State and/or local incentives may also apply. Here you can find the list of qualified EVs.
Vehicles powered exclusively by electricity are exempt from state motor vehicle emissions inspections. For more information, see the Air Care Colorado website. (Reference 1 Code of Colorado Regulations 204-11 Rule 2)
DISCLAIMER: Please consult a tax professional, Federal Internal Revenue Service, and CO Department of Revenue for actual figures.

Transportation is currently the second largest source of GHG emissions in the state-and as Colorado’s electricity sector decarbonizes, transportation will become the greatest contributor of harmful, climate-altering pollution. Colorado is uniquely positioned to lead the transition to cleaner transportation options that will benefit the state for years to come.
