All the best EV rebate and cash back deals we could find for March 2025 [Updated]

Cynics will point at big rebates and claim they mean the vehicle isn’t selling, but that just exposes them as industry noobs. A rebate is a powerful financial tool that helps dealers overcome obstacles like negative equity, poor credit, down payment requirements, and interest rate objections so you can drive home in the car of your dreams today.

If you’re dealing with any of the above, pay attention: these EVs could get you behind the wheel of a new electric ride sooner than you think!

Update 16MAR: added more big-money rebates!

As I was putting this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Biggest EV incentive deals ..?” Not everyone qualifies for those. “Most stackable EV rebates ..?” Too much research. In the end, I went with national cash back offers and chose to present them in alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to read the article. Enjoy!

Audi RS e-Tron GT Quattro

The Audi RS e-Tron GT Quattro is a stunning, high-end electrified cruise missile of an automobile that combines Porsche DNA with Audi styling and, presumably, sufficient all-weather performance chops to earn the legendary Quattro badge. From now until March 31st, you can receive $12,500 in customer bonus cash when you purchase or lease a select, new 2024 Audi RS e-Tron GT Quattro (the “standard” RS gets $7,500).

Dodge Charger

As the auto industry transitions to electric, Dodge is hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with extra cash, will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot.

These days, that’s the new electric Charger – and you still owed money on the Hemi you just totaled, Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retrotastic ride with a $3,000 rebate plus 0% financing for up to 72 months!

Ford F-150 Lightning

The Ford F-150 Lightning is a reasonably capable half-ton truck with V2X capabilities that first proved themselves during Texas’ ice storms, and ship with a world of aftermarket support baked in. Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for their commercial or public fleet can get even better deals on the OG electric trucks – meaning your fleet manager would be crazy not to take a serious look at one.

Now through March 31st, Ford is offering retail buyers of remaining 2024 Lightning pickups 0% interest for up to 72 months plus $4,000 in retail bonus cash AND a free L2 home charger (cost of installation included). As with all offers, it’s good to read the fine print, but this is a killer deal for Ford truck fans.

Genesis GV70 Electrified

Genesis’ GV70 Electrified crossover doesn’t get the love it deserves in most circles – but that’s true of just about every Genesis offering. If you’re willing to give the top shelf Koreans a chance, though, I think you’ll find them to be every bit the equal of anything in their class.

And if you don’t, the $10,000 retail bonus cash offer on remaining 2024 models reported by USNews will surely help readjust the models you’re comparing the Genesis to!

Kia EV6 GT

CarsDirect is reporting 24-month leases on the positively awesome Kia EV6 GT featuring up to $19,000 in lease cash. Other EV6 variants get decent cash back offers, too – be sure to ask your local dealer about the one you’re interested in.

Nearly every electric Mercedes

With the possible exception of the G-wagen version, Mercedes’ EQ lineup is struggling to move off dealer lots. Blame the bizarre naming conventions, the confusion between an S Class and an EQS Class, or the fact that even the top-shelf AMG versions of Mercedes’ electric line look more like suppositories than one of Bruno Sacco‘s Teutonic masterpieces.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Mercedes dealers are ready to get these things off the lot now, and if you can live with some awkward proportions you’ll be rewarded with solid performance, excellent fit and finish, and all the rest of the things that made the 3-pointed star an icon.

Nissan LEAF

The inspiration for this article was a hypothetical $9,140 Nissan LEAF deal that I hastily concocted while walking the floor of the 2025 Chicago Auto Show, but the fact remains that even with “just” $7,500 cash back, the $28,140 $20,640 Nissan LEAF is one of the most affordable new cars you can buy in the US. If you can score some additional local incentives and dealer discounts, so much the better.

Toyota bZ4X

It’s not breaking any sales records, but the Toyota bZ4X is a reasonably capable five-passenger crossover EV that should meet most people’s needs with enough of Toyota’s legendary quality baked in to make it a safe enough bet for a decade of hassle-free driving. Plus, with $10,000 in TFS Lease Subvention cash and plenty of dealer discounts floating around, it might be the best deal in Toyota’s current lineup.

Electric Volvo Cars

Volvo is offering $7,500 EV Lease Bonus Cash on remaining 2024 C40 Recharge models, as well as 2025 EX40 and EX90 SUVs. Those deals can be combined with another $1,000 in Conquest or Volvo Loyalty cash and up to $2,000 additional dollars for Costco Executive members (“Gold Star” Costco members get $1,500 back).

All-in, that can add up to $10,500 off the sticker price of the hot new Volvo EX90 electric seven-passenger SUV, with additional dealer discounts and local incentives available in some states making a new plug-in Volvo and even sweeter deal.

Disclaimer: the vehicle models and rebate deals above were sourced from CarsDirect, CarEdge, USNews, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 16MAR2025. Despite my best efforts to filter these, some deals may not be available in your market, or be stackable with every other discount, or to every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.
