The state also provides a tax credit of 10% of the total vehicle cost, up to $1,500, on AFV resales if a tax credit has not been previously taken on the vehicle. This tax credit extends to low-speed electric vehicles as defined by NHTSA in 49 C.F.R. 571.500 and to forklifts and other similar self-propelled vehicles. The state provides a tax credit of up to 50% of the cost of installing refueling infrastructure for AFVs. These tax credits can be taken over a three-year period. The alternative fuels eligible for credit include compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), methanol, and electricity.
