EV savings can come from New York programs, utility rewards, and charging support, but eligibility and availability change. Always check the dated program source before making a purchase decision.
Direct answer
As checked September 8, 2026, NYSERDA lists a $2,000 Drive Clean Rebate for eligible 2023-2026 Nissan LEAF models with 60-75-kWh batteries and $500 for the listed 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-in Hybrid. Federal clean-vehicle credits are unavailable for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Confirm the exact vehicle, participating dealer, program funding and transaction eligibility before counting any benefit.
Which New York vehicle rebates apply now?
- 2023-2026 LEAF with 60-75-kWh battery: NYSERDA's current eligible-vehicle list shows a $2,000 Drive Clean Rebate and a 259-to-303-mile range band.
- 2026 Rogue Plug-in Hybrid: The current list shows a $500 rebate for the listed 38-mile electric-range model.
- Transaction check: The participating dealer, exact vehicle, funding status, purchase or lease terms, and program rules must all qualify when the transaction occurs.
Which federal EV credits have expired?
- Vehicle credits: IRS guidance says the new, used, and qualified-commercial clean-vehicle credits are not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025.
- Home-charger credit: The federal alternative-fuel refueling property credit is unavailable for property placed in service after June 30, 2026.
- Earlier transactions: A prior acquisition or installation may be governed by earlier rules; use the IRS source and a qualified tax professional rather than applying this page backward.
How do Con Edison charging rewards affect ownership costs?
- SmartCharge New York can reward eligible standard-rate participants for qualifying off-peak charging, but it is not a vehicle-price rebate.
- Con Edison states customers on a Residential or Small Business time-of-use rate are not eligible for SmartCharge New York incentives.
- Keep every unverified incentive out of the affordability calculation and show rebates, dealer discounts, taxes, trade, and charging costs separately.
Questions to answer before you decide
- Open each official program page on the day you make the decision.
- Confirm the exact vehicle and buyer eligibility in writing where available.
- Identify whether each benefit is a rebate, tax credit, discount, or utility reward.
- Keep an incentive out of the affordability calculation until eligibility is verified.
Customer questions and answers
Can a dealer guarantee that I receive a tax credit?
No. Tax eligibility depends on current law, the vehicle, transaction, and taxpayer circumstances. Review current IRS guidance and consult a qualified tax professional for personal advice.
Can New York and federal EV benefits be combined?
For vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, the federal new, used and commercial clean-vehicle credits are unavailable. Earlier eligible acquisitions may follow prior rules. New York programs have separate eligibility and funding requirements; check the acquisition date and each official program before combining benefits.
Are home-charger incentives the same as vehicle rebates?
No. Charging-equipment, installation, rate, and vehicle-purchase programs can have different applicants, costs, deadlines, and benefit structures.
