The federal government provides a substantial tax credit for new battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, ranging from $2,500 - $7,500, depending on the capacity of the electric vehicle's battery. All Battery-Electrics are eligible for the full $7,500, whereas some plug-in hybrids with smaller batteries receive a reduced amount. Here is a breakdown of the tax credit amounts by vehicle.

Note that the federal EV tax credit amount is affected by your tax liability. For example, if you purchase an EV eligible for $7,500, but you owe only $4,000 in taxes, you will receive a $4,000 credit.

If you lease your EV, the tax credit goes to the manufacturer. However, dealerships often factor the tax credit into the cost of the lease, lowering your down payment or monthly payments. Ask the sales rep how the tax credit is being applied.

Once a manufacturer's EV sales exceed 200,000, the available tax credit enters a phase out period that begins with full rebate amounts in that quarter and the following quarter. After this grace period, the tax credit is cut in half for the next two quarters. Then the amount is cut in half again for a final two quarters before it is phased out completely.

Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle owners living in Burbank who charge their vehicles at night can benefit from the savings of a time-of-use (TOU) electric rate.

Customers who choose to switch from the residential electricity rate to a time-of-use (TOU) rate can save on monthly energy costs. With TOU rates, electricity costs vary based on the time of day when energy is used. During periods when electricity demand is low, customers are charged off-peak rates, which are often much lower than rates charged during other periods. The off peak period is typically during the night time, when the majority of electric vehicle drivers charge at home

PG&E offers two electric vehicle rate plans for residential customers. Home Charging, EV2-A combines your vehicle's electricity costs with those of your residence. EV-B involves the installation of another meter, which separates your vehicle's electricity costs from those of your home.

Electric power purchased during peak hours is more expensive than off-peak power.

For example, you can change the time of day that you do laundry or run your dishwasher. You can also save money if you reduce your overall energy use. Additionally, the Time-of-Day Rate offers a discount for customers who own or lease plug-in electric vehicles for charging between midnight and 6 AM. This discount applies to all household electricity use during these hours.

If you drive an electric or Plug-in Hybrid, you can save money with an EV time-of-use (TOU) pricing plan by programming your car to charge during the lowest-priced time period. Electricity prices are as low as 9 cents per kWh when you charge your car during the Super Off-Peak hours between midnight and 6 am.

EV-TOU, a plan for just your electric vehicle: Save money by charging your EV at night during Off-Peak hours. This plan requires a separate meter for your EV and tracks your EV electricity use separately, while your home remains on the Standard Plan. For this plan, you'll need to choose an electrician to install the second meter at your expense, which is why most customers prefer the EV-TOU-2 or EV-TOU-5 plan.

EV-TOU-2, a plan for your home and electric vehicle: Save money by charging your EV and shifting your home energy use to the lowest-priced Off-Peak hours. Managing your home energy use is easy on an EV plan; just program your car to charge during Off-Peak hours, and use your clothes washer/dryer, dishwasher, pool pump, etc. during the same Off-Peak hours. This plan uses your existing household meter to track both your home and EV electricity usage.

EV-TOU-5, a plan for your home and electric vehicle: This new plan is similar to EV-TOU-2 but the On-Peak and Off-Peak pricing is reduced by one cent kW/h and the Super Off-Peak rate is reduced to just 9￠ kW/h when you pay a Basic Monthly Service Fee of $16. Super Off-Peak hours are midnight to 6 am weekdays, and midnight to 2 pm on weekends and holidays.

If you are able to manage your energy habits, SCE's time-of-use (TOU) plans may be the best fit for your home. Rates on a TOU plan are based on the time of day and the season.
