Tennessee has started a rebate program to make electric vehicles more affordable.
Governor Phil Bredesen says the state will offer a $2,500 rebate on the first 1,000 electric vehicles sold in the state.
The state rebate will complement a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for the purchase of electric vehicles.
Tennessee is one of six states and the District of Columbia selected to participate in the Electric Vehicle (EV) Project, which is funded through a $100 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The rebate program will be administered by the Department of Revenue, which will offer the rebate to consumers through Nissan's network of auto dealers in Tennessee.
