Unlock Massive EV Incentives: Colorado's $9K Deals & California's $200M Comeback
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're in the market for an electric vehicle (EV), you're in for a treat. State incentives are getting insane, and today we're diving into the best ones—especially in Colorado and the latest buzz from California. I'll also share the ultimate resource to find all the money available to you, no matter where you live. Stick around, because this could save you thousands!
Colorado's Crazy EV Incentives for 2026
Colorado is leading the charge with some of the most generous EV perks out there. Here's the breakdown:
- Base Credit: $750 for new EVs.
- MSRP Bonus: An extra $2,500 if the EV has an MSRP of $35,000 or less.
- Point-of-Sale Rebate: Up to $9,000 for brand-new EVs—especially juicy if you trade in your old vehicle.
- Home Charger Rebates: $1,300 for a Level 2 charger, plus more goodies.
If you're in Colorado, these could stack with federal incentives for a massive discount. Wild, right?
The Ultimate Tool: Find Your Incentives by Zip Code
Don't know where to start? Head to electricforall.org right now. Just punch in your zip code, and it'll spit out federal, state, local, and even utility incentives tailored to you.
For example, here in Los Angeles, LADWP offers up to $1,000 for charger installs. Need a panel upgrade? You could snag $4,000–$6,000. Shoutout to my go-to guys at Smart Plug EV (link in the description)—owner Mario hooked us up with that $1,000 rebate on our home charger. Mention the "Dennis deal" for the best service!
California's $200M EV Rebate Proposal
Big news for Golden State folks: California just unveiled a $200 million EV rebate package to fill the gap left by the expired $7,500 federal tax credit. Key details (still pending approval):
- No income cap.
- No vehicle price cap—could apply to premium rides like Rivian.
- One catch: They're eyeing exclusions for high-market-share brands like Tesla (makes sense, given their dominance).
This is evolving fast, so stay tuned. What do you think—fair play or politics?

Must-Have Tesla Accessories (Because Tesla Ships with ZERO)
Now that you've nabbed your EV (or are about to), did you know Tesla sends it with zero accessories? No phone mount, nada. Don't sweat it—our partner Joah has you covered with my personal must-haves:
- Phone Mount: Keeps your phone secure during those 0-60 launches.
- Center Console Organizer: Say goodbye to lost keys and junk.
- Invisible Underscreen Storage Mount: Perfect for sunglasses (my new fave!).
Joah goes beyond basics:
- Wireless game controller (fits in the glovebox).
