EVs that qualify for a state sales tax exemption

There is a partial state sales and use tax exemption for new or used passenger cars, light duty trucks, or medium duty
passenger vehicles that are:

1. Exclusively powered by a clean alternative fuel; or
2. A plug-in hybrid vehicle that can travel at least 30 miles on battery power alone.

A new vehicle may only have a selling price of up to $45,000 to qualify for the exemption.  A used vehicle may only have a selling price of up to $30,000 to qualify.  A trade-in or manufacturer rebate does not lower the selling price of a vehicle.

Eligible vehicles qualify for a sales tax exemption for up to $15,000 of the selling price for new vehicles, or $16,000 for used vehicles.
