The money is available through New York State's Drive Clean Rebate program, which provides point-of-sale rebates for more than 60 new EVs.

“New York’s leadership in driving the adoption of electric vehicles is helping consumers stay within their budget when purchasing or leasing a new electric car,” Governor Hochul said.

New York State Continues To Build High-Speed Chargers

Officials say the state has made "significant efforts to build out high-speed chargers" along New York State's most traveled areas. Including:

“Along with increased savings, we are building out the infrastructure needed to provide hard-working New Yorkers convenient access to charging, helping to reduce range anxiety and make it easier to drive electric," Hochul added in a press release. These investments are key to building a cleaner future, lowering emissions and creating good-paying jobs.”

The Drive Clean Rebate offers electric vehicle (EV) buyers up to $2,000 off the purchase or lease of 60+ new EV models.

"Participating car dealerships are responsible for applying for the point-of-sale rebate on behalf of the customer. The dealer reduces the EV sale price by the full Drive Clean Rebate amount, delivering an upfront discount to the customer," Hochul's Office States.

The rebate ranges from $500 to $2,000. It all depends on the all-electric range and MSRP.

• Greater than 200-mile range: $2,000 rebate
• 40- to 199-mile range: $1,000 rebate
• Less than 40-mile range: $500 rebate
• MSRP greater than $42,000: $500 rebate
