So, with AC tax it goes over 55K - doesn't that make in ineligible for federal rebates?
The rebate is based only on the MSRP for the particular "trim", which has to be less than $55k. Taxes, upgraded wheels, etc. don't count:
To be eligible for the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles program, you have to purchase or lease:
- a vehicle with six seats or fewer, where the base model (trim) Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is less than $45,000;
- higher priced versions (trims) of these vehicles, up to a maximum Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $55,000, will also be eligible for purchase incentives;
