Driving an electric vehicle like the Nissan LEAF or Nissan ARIYA is a great way to help the environment, save money on gas, and enjoy a smooth, quiet ride. If you're considering buying or leasing an EV in Maryland, you'll be glad to know there are several incentives available to make going electric even more affordable.
Federal Electric Vehicle Tax Credit
The federal government offers a tax credit of up to $7,500 for purchasing a qualified EV. This incentive helps offset the higher upfront cost of an electric vehicle compared to a gas-powered car. Many Nissan EV models, including the Nissan LEAF and Nissan ARIYA, are eligible for this tax credit. Be sure to discuss the specific tax credit amount and eligibility with your tax professional.
Residents of Baltimore, Maryland can take advantage of the federal EV tax credit when purchasing a Nissan electric vehicle. This incentive makes it easier to switch to an eco-friendly EV in the city.
Maryland Excise Tax Credit
In addition to the federal incentive, the state of Maryland offers its own tax credit for EV purchases. The Maryland Excise Tax Credit provides up to $3,000 in tax savings for buying a qualifying electric vehicle. This credit is applied against the state excise tax, which is based on the vehicle's purchase price and registration weight.
EV shoppers in Bel Air, MD can combine the Maryland Excise Tax Credit with the federal EV tax credit for considerable savings on a Nissan LEAF or Nissan ARIYA. These incentives make electric vehicles a smart financial choice in addition to an environmentally-conscious one.
