EV Incentives API
The EV Incentives API for top OEM sites & dealers
One EV incentives API for every federal, state, utility, and local program a shopper qualifies for. Real numbers by ZIP, income, household, and vehicle. Always current. Never your problem.
What it returns
Every incentive a shopper qualifies for, down to the dollar.
Send the shopper’s details and the vehicle, and the API returns the programs they qualify for, the amounts, and how to claim them. The same engine also calculates what an EV will save them and whether it fits their driving.

Why not build it yourself
Incentive data goes stale fast.
Incentives are local, conditional, and constantly changing. 28% of the 500+ programs we track changed materially in the last 90 days: new programs, new income limits, funds running out. A wrong number on the highest-intent question a shopper asks costs trust and sales. We do the research and verification so your product always shows the current answer.

FAQ
EV incentives API questions
What is an EV incentives API?
An EV incentives API lets a website or app look up the electric vehicle incentives a specific shopper qualifies for, such as federal, state, utility, and local rebates and credits, instead of maintaining that data by hand.
What does EV Life’s EV incentives API cover?
500+ federal, state, utility, and municipal programs for new and used EVs and plug-in hybrids, with eligibility by ZIP, income, household, filing status, and vehicle. It also returns savings, total cost of ownership, and charging and range estimates.
How current is the incentive data?
We track every program continuously. In the last 90 days, 28% of programs changed materially, and those changes flow through to the API so your shoppers see the current numbers.
Can AI assistants use it?
