Paul,

Have you seen this... this is a local company in Bellingham.
Check the main page about the stimulus...
Electric Vehicles of Washington

Then I had a chat with our local government to ask how true this was... and they have no clue... but they pointed me on this website...
Tax Breaks Available for Taxpayers Who Purchase Qualified Plug-In Electric Vehicles

Now im getting somewhere... I think the keyword is EESA...
Then I found this...
New Tax Credits for Electric Vehicles | Auto Credit Express Bad Credit Car Loan Blog

See. this is what they said....
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act also contains provisions for a tax credit for vehicles that have at least four wheels that are powered through the use of a rechargeable traction battery that has, as a minimum, 4 kilowatt-hours of storage capacity. For 2009, the minimum credit for this type of vehicle is $2,500 and the credit maxes out at anywhere from $7,500 to $15,000, depending on the vehicle’s weight and the capacity of its battery.

so do we qualify?

But how to file for tax credit or rebate... no clue.
