In the six weeks since the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection starting offering cash rebates up to $3,000 for state residents purchasing or leasing electric vehicles, 67 payouts have been made.
The actual payout ranges from $750-$3,000 depending on what car is sold or leased, and the average payout to Connecticut consumers has been $1,960, according to DEEP.
In addition to the rebate program, DEEP also has provided $400,000 in grants to develop EV charging stations, in order to make EV owners confident they will never run out of power while driving. The state has 349 publicly available charging stations.
Connecticut is home to more than 3,000 registered EVs, according to Michigan automotive data provider R.L. Polk & Co.
