Hi, any new Leaf owners gotten a excise tax credit from MVA?
I received a check last week. The amount, a little over $2,000, was for the excise tax (6%) paid on the sales price of the car. But the way the application is written, it seems that the amount of the rebate should have been $3,000. The form (http://www.mva.maryland.gov/_resources/docs/VR-334.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false says:
Not to look a gift horse, and I'm grateful to live in such an incentive-heavy state, but this is confusing. Why make me include the battery capacity if it's not part of the calculation? I left a message with the Registration Refund Unit at MVA, which issued the check.
The law (House Bill 1345) that extended and increased the excise tax credit took effect July 1 this year, so they might not have processed many of these requests. I think the relevant section of the law is on page 7, line 13 and lines 22-24 of http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2014RS/bills/hb/hb1345e.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The battery capacity of the Leaf is 24 kWh x $125. That's $3,000!The credit allowed is calculated as follows:
• The product of $125 times the kilowatt-hours of battery capacity of the vehicle not to exceed $3,000. Vehicles with 25 kilowatt-hours and above will only qualify for the maximum allowed of $3,000.
