Just an fyi for any fellow Illinoisans, there is a $4,000 state rebate that is kicking in starting July 1st, 2022 for the purchase (not lease) of a fully electric (phevs and hybrids not included) vehicle; $1,500 for fully electric motorcycles. You have to hold on to the car for at least a year and you must purchase the vehicle from an Illinois dealer that is registered with the Illinois DMV (not sure if this requirement eliminates Tesla as a vehicle option). More details below:
So maybe Friday would be a good day to take my leased Leaf with a bunch of equity and "trade it in’ or whatever the technical term is for a new Leaf?
It would make it a sweet deal however I don’t believe there are any available ones. I’m looking for an affordable ev car but can’t seem to find one readily available.
I think your best bet would be to wait until Chevy dealers have the 2023 Bolt EVs or EUVs in stock - I would imagine those vehicles would be the cheapest
I wouldn’t mind one of those especially with 4K incentive on top. It’s just a waiting game at this point just hoping it’ll be soon. Not too fond of filling up $100+ gas every week. I have 36mi commute each way.
Does this includes Tesla because of dealership has to be in IL. So one has to have the car sales receipt in hand by September 2022 to apply.
Does buying an old used EV counts too or just New buy and No leasing.
If one order Tesla now chances of getting before Oct are slim to none. Think they need form submitted by end of September if not then have to wait for next year cycle and how much money they going to allocate in there fiscal budget for next year.
Believe it was 19M for this year which comes around aprox 4000 rebates
