Does Washington State have incentives for electric vehicles (EV)?

I hope to save as much money as possible while buying a new electric vehicle. I've found some deals, but does Washington State have incentives for electric cars?

You’re in luck—Washington State does have incentives for
electric cars
.
Most new buyers of electric vehicles often search for federal and state incentives before purchasing their first EV. The upfront costs of buying an electric car are usually higher than their gas-fueled counterparts.
Luckily, the American government is committed to reducing the negative impact of fuel emissions, so they’ve incentivized the purchase of EVs to encourage citizens to go green.
Among the available federal incentives, many states have joined in to help the public by offering additional incentives. You’ll find many deals, from tax rebates to HOV lane access. For the best information, you should check directly with your state to see the complete list of what’s available.
Here are some of Washington’s proposed rebates for electric vehicles:
  • $7,500 for new electric vehicles
  • $5,000 for used vehicles
  • $1,000 for zero-emission motorcycles and e-bikes
Another great way to save on the total cost of buying a new car is to make sure you have the best and most affordable car insurance policy. The
