    "MS doesn't yet have any incentives for electric vehicles." The 'yet' part is dreaming.

    The state incentives is helpful...I should post link on the Federal and State Incentives thread.

    I tested it on Maryland...well Sierra seems to be out-of-date, as it appears MD has revamped their program.
    But it had good info on the MD EVSE charger rebates I am missing on the State and Federal Incentives.

    I tested it on Virginia....well they did not mention our new dis-incentive $64/yr. The Sierra site also did not appear to pick up that a few localities in VA (eg; Arlington Co) do have local tax incentives. They did mention the Dominion VA off-peak power discount program, which I was not sure was still available. Worth checking with Dominion if you have a plug-in in VA.

    I tested it on West Virginia...yes Sierra Club knows WV recently eliminated their former $7500 PHEV/EV tax credit

    These incentives change so rapidly, the most you can hope for from websites is hints, and then you have to bird-dog it for your specific case.

    Out of date for NY as well.

    No mention of the incentives for EVSE installs, there supposedly is another credit as well, but haven't dug into those details yet. I compiled a list here (just ignore the federal credit, everything else is NY).

    Do we need an incentive to lower our carbon footprint? Perhaps so.
