How Colorado Residents Can Get $8600 Towards an Ebike and Electric Car
I just bought a $2200 e-bike for $230
I’m so proud of my awesome state.
The Colorado Energy Office is offering residents the chance to embrace energy-efficient transportation alternatives and receive substantial rebates.
I’m currently searching for a job, so I’ve been looking for public programs to ease my financial strain. A few months ago, I saw the Colorado e-bike rebate program in a Google search. It seemed too good to be true, but I applied anyway.
And I was rejected.
So I applied in the next round, and viola! My state Government sent me two rebate codes, one worth $1100 for a bike and one worth $100 toward accessories.
I went to a participating retailer, saw that they had a sweet bike in my size marked down from $2200 to $1200, and snagged it. I added a $100 chain lock that would take the average thief days to cut through, and I was happily on my way.
The man behind the counter typed in my code, and I paid the $236 ($1300-$1200+ sales tax).
You, too, can walk away with a sweet discount bike
With current incentives of up to $1100 for e-bikes and $6000 for electric cars, Colorado residents can make eco-friendly choices that benefit the environment and their wallets.
This article will guide Colorado residents through taking full advantage of these rebates.
1) E-Bikes
The Colorado Energy Office has divided e-bike rebates into different tiers based on income. These tiers are county-specific:
a. Low-Income Residents: If you fall into this category, you are eligible for a generous $1100 rebate when purchasing an e-bike, a fantastic opportunity to invest in a sustainable and cost-effective mode of transportation.
b. Mid-Income Residents: If your income is above the low-income threshold but still within the mid-income range, you can enjoy a $500 rebate for an e-bike purchase.
