I've read that some locales have tax credits/rebates for getting an EVSE. Does Colorado? I can't find anything about this online, which doesn't bode well, but couldn't hurt to ask! Thanks. :mrgreen:
Wow you're so super helpful! And still not an answer to my question. Thanks for replying! :ugeek:iamwjh said:I performed a search on a site called "Google" and found the following results:

The Colorado electric car rebate situation is murky. They say it's up to $6k but they come up with some cockamamey value for each car based on nonsense apparently. I think it was around $4800 in 2012. Who knows for 2013, we'll find out when we do our taxes in 13 months.MatimalND said:I guess I can't read.

cgaydos said:All correct except that you do get a portion of the state tax credit if you lease. See my previous post and the earlier link to Publication 67.
For me the 2012 credit was over $1900 - almost covered the lease down payment.
