Hey, hybrids and EVs get to go in the HOV lane during rush hour, AND the toll variable toll lane on 95 for free! For a regular commuter to downtown Miami, that's probably worth a couple hundred bucks a year!! Ok, not much an "incentive", but it's all we've got!Originally Posted by NigelM
Here's the incentives in the Sunshine State:
That's the "Miami" incentive....we don't have any HOV lanes over here and we have to pay our tolls in full....
I just mailed some information about a rather well hidden incentive in Aachen, Germany to them. The public services company offers 500€ for anyone buying an EV and free juice from their charging points in the city until the end of 2012. Which will likely not matter to Model S buyers, but it's the thought that counts, right?
Details are available (in German) here: Förderprogramme: Ladenetz Stawag
Edit: This programme is available for their customers only. Which is most people in the city, tho.
Arizona has some great incentives for EV owners - check them out.

Same here. No incentives beyond the federal.That's the "Miami" incentive....we don't have any HOV lanes over here and we have to pay our tolls in full....

Hi, Do the EVs have to be "in-state" registered, or are visiting EVs allowed free toll on 95 as well? Do I need a sticker or something?

Looks like you can't do it for an out-of-state car: http://www.flhsmv.gov/dmv/forms/BTR/83027.pdf
