Governor Gretchen Whitmer has introduced the MI Vehicle Rebate plan, a strategic initiative aimed at boosting sales of new electric, hybrid, and traditional combustion vehicles in Michigan. The announcement follows the successful negotiation of a groundbreaking contract between the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the Big Three automakers.
The rebate, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 per vehicle, could potentially save Michiganders up to $10,000 when combined with federal incentives. Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II emphasized the plan’s role in supporting the state’s auto industry, workforce, and economy.
In the upcoming State of the State address, Governor Whitmer will request a $25 million allocation from the legislature to fund the MI Vehicle Rebate program, reaffirming Michigan’s commitment to leading the future of mobility and electrification. The rebates, however, do not apply to used vehicles.
