AndyLL said:So has anyone had their CO taxes processed that had a rebate?
Mine have been sitting there since Feb. They did need proof that I bought my leafs and I sent in my bill of sales in late Feb.
I assume the Leaf rebate triggered a manual review.

As cgaydos mentioned upthread, the tax credit law was changed recently by the legislature and is quite different from the 2012 version. The discussion about the new EV related laws in Colorado is here:Oliverovan said:We applied and got a substantial rebate. There is a schedule under alternative and renewable fuel vehicles on the state of Colorado website.

I'm hoping that used Tesla prices come down in a few years (they are almost the same as new prices currently). With a Tesla one could buy it anywhere in the country and just drive it home. It would be impractical for me to qualify for the federal tax credit again, so that makes used EVs more attractive, especially with the Colorado tax credit applying to out-of-state used cars.cgaydos said:...Needless to say, if I'm in Colorado and looking at LEAFs this gives me a very strong incentive to look at nearby states for used models. Shipping from, say, Houston to Denver is about $750. Of course, for a used LEAF I'd probably look at states with colder climates.

Yes. But that $6k will help with what would be a hugely expensive purchase! But the idea of going to only one car and having it be an EV — no more ICE car ever again! — is a mighty attractive prospect, if only I could figure out how to swing it. That's the holy grail of EV ownership, and not remotely possible with the LEAF, for rural folks like me.cgaydos said:...Remember that the 24% credit hits the limit of $6k, though (not a factor on a used LEAF, but likely would be on a used Tesla).
