Tax credits and incentives for enticing American drivers to
buy electric vehicles are in the thick right now. In Los Angeles, California,
in particular, you’ve got access to the $7,500 federal credit, $2,500 state
rebate and now expanded and improved electric vehicle charger rebates for home,
workplace and public charging through the Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power (LADWP).
The program, known as “Charge Up LA! – Home, Work, and On
the Go,” builds upon what’s called a successful initial EV charger rebate trial
that resulted in over 500 residential charger installations in Los Angeles. The
new offering, which kicks off August 1 and runs through June 30, 2015, has as
its goal 2,000 rebates.
