$2500 Texas plug-in rebate over
FYI:
"The TCEQ has received a sufficient number of applications to award the allocated 2,000 electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles under the Light-Duty Motor Vehicle Purchase or Lease Incentive Program, and suspends acceptance of applications for electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles effective Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 5:00 p.m."
Was set to sunset on May 31st but the entire fund has been allocated. This was the second time it has been offered so maybe there will be another program authorized during the current legislative session. (fingers crossed) -

Canada announces new federal $5K EV rebate In 2019 budget
Well, some good news yesterday, that the federal government in Canada has finally stepped up with an announcement in the new budget to allocate a national rebate to promote EV vehicles.... in a nutshell, it will be a $5K rebate on vehicles $45K and under, and this would be in addition to provincial rebates, such as in Quebec and BC.
New Budget Adds ZEV Incentive for Consumers, Business | autoTRADER.ca
Official details are to follow (can’t find any government link yet)... and already some criticism on the interweb about the threshold being too low as it cuts out a LOT of vehicles (even a non-base model Leaf or Bolt). Surely it is not a coincidence that the Model 3 starts at $47K.
It is also not clear (in my opinion) if this also includes PHEVs, and if there are rules around this as well. For example, some stories like the AutoTrader one suggest there is a 15KWh... -

Plug-in America Editorial about Plug-in Road fees
Electric Vehicle Road Usage Fees
Wow they seem to have changed from (a few years ago) that plug-ins should *eventually* pay road taxes, to now it is unfair for the unforeseeable future. Gee I am not so sure it is productive to fight a reasonable fee. -
