Vehicle Exchange Colorado rebates increase
|
Colorado recently increased its Vehicle Exchange Colorado (VXC) rebates to $9,000 for new electric vehicles and $6,000 for used ones. The VXC program helps income-qualified residents trade in older or high-emitting vehicles and put those funds toward an EV.
“The initial sticker price of an EV is expensive, but once all the numbers are crunched, it’s quite affordable,” says Alliy Sahagun, who recently traded in her 2009 Ford Fusion for a 2025 Hyundai Ionic 5 SEL SUV.
Colorado EV tax credits are reducing at the end of the year, so now is a good time to make a purchase. Use this handy cost calculator to compare costs between your current vehicle and an EV.
