Under the new program, Washington residents earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level – $45,180 annually for a single person, or $93,600 for family of four – are eligible to receive $9,000 for a new EV lease of three years or more, or $5,000 for new EV purchases or two-year leases. Used EVs are also eligible for a $2,500 rebate on both purchases and leases.
