Electric, Hybrid Car Rebates Disappearing in 2018

Have you been on the fence about buying a hybrid or electric car? There are still a few days left in December to get that car and to be able to take advantage of a few rebates that will not be around come Jan. 1, 2018.

What does that mean for you? If you wait, you miss out on up to $7,500 in Federal tax credits and up to $2,000 rebate from New York state.

The only glitch? You would have to purchase your vehicle from a dealer who has already signed up to be a part of the program.
