All the best EV and PHEV rebate deals we could find for April 2025 [update] https://electrek.co/2025/04/28/all-the-best-ev-rebate-and-cash-back-deals-we-could-find-for-april-2025-and-phev/ https://electrek.co/2025/04/28/all-the-best-ev-rebate-and-cash-back-deals-we-could-find-for-april-2025-and-phev/#comments Mon, 28 Apr 2025 14:45:00 +0000 https://electrek.co/?p=412040

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

So if you’re dealing with any of the above, but still hope to slide behind the wheel of a new EV before new tariffs kick in, pay attention: these EVs could get you behind the wheel of a new electric ride sooner than you think!

UPDATE: Kia really, really wants you to buy a new EV this month!

Elon Musk said Tesla’s self-driving will start contributing to the company’s profits… wait for it… “next year” with “millions of Tesla robotaxis in operation during the second half of the year.”

The Blazer SS also has a ton of extras like a standard, robust SuperCruise, which competes favorably with the Performance line from domestic competitors like Tesla’s Model Y and Ford’s Mustang Mach-e GT.
