10 Best Deals on Electric Vehicles
EVs are available with large rebates, and many are still eligible for tax credits, at least for now
Right now is a great time to buy an electric vehicle. Several automakers are offering large customer rebates, and many models are still eligible for tax credits that expire on Sept. 30, 2025. Plus, you’ll probably find that dealerships are eager to negotiate as the model year winds down and newer models begin arriving.
For this list, Consumer Reports studied current national incentives to identify the best deals on new EVs. We factored in rebates and the overall potential for negotiation, based on data from our partner TrueCar. We used these numbers to establish a bottom-line price for you to target, whether negotiating with dealerships on your own or using a car-buying service like CR’s Build and Buy. As always, local supply and demand will influence how much a dealer is willing to bend on price, but these numbers are a good starting point.
