An electric vehicle (EV) is a car propelled by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in one or more rechargeable batteries.
In Indiana, electric vehicles (EVs) are subject to specific regulations and incentives designed to promote their use and address environmental concerns. Indiana does not have a Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program like some other states, but it does offer incentives such as reduced vehicle registration fees for EVs. Additionally, the state has implemented an annual supplemental registration fee for electric vehicles to account for the loss of gas tax revenue used for road maintenance. This fee is in addition to the standard vehicle registration fee. Indiana also encourages the development of EV infrastructure, such as charging stations, through various programs and partnerships. Federal laws also apply, including federal tax credits for purchasing electric vehicles, which can help offset the higher initial cost of EVs. It's important for EV owners and potential buyers in Indiana to stay informed about the latest state and federal regulations and incentives as they can change over time.
