Colorado will offer $6,000 Tax Credit for Plug-in Hybrid Conversions

Plug-in Prius

Earlier this year, Colorado passed House Bill 1331, “Incentives for Efficient Motor Vehicles,” which creates new tax credits of up to $6,000 for the purchase of, or conversion to, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
