What Massachusetts incentives apply to Volvo EVs?

Massachusetts residents may qualify for state vehicle rebates and, separately, utility incentives for eligible EV charging equipment, electrical upgrades, and managed charging.

Through the state’s MOR-EV program, eligible Massachusetts residents can receive a $3,500 rebate for qualifying new light-duty battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) with a Total MSRP of $55,000 or less. Income-qualifying applicants may be eligible for an additional MOR-EV+ rebate of $1,500, and drivers trading in a qualifying older gasoline or diesel vehicle may be eligible for the MOR-EV Trade-In adder of $1,000. Applicable adders may be combined with an eligible MOR-EV Standard or MOR-EV Used rebate when all requirements are met.

Beyond the state rebate, utilities including Eversource and National Grid offer separate residential EV charging programs. Depending on the utility, service area, customer type, rate, and equipment, these programs can provide incentives for qualified home wiring, eligible charging equipment, and managed off-peak charging.

Important Volvo Cars Plymouth Note: Program administrators, not the dealership, determine final eligibility for all state and utility programs. Program rules, funding, and vehicle eligibility criteria are subject to change without notice. Massachusetts DOER has proposed amendments to the MOR-EV regulations; those proposals are not automatically current program rules. Confirm the rules in effect on your purchase, lease, or installation date.

Understanding the MOR-EV Program

The Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles (MOR-EV) program provides state incentives for eligible electric vehicles under different program tracks.

For Volvo shoppers, the most important factors are the eligible vehicle list and the $55,000 Total MSRP limit for MOR-EV Standard. Under current rules, a qualifying new light-duty BEV or FCEV must appear on the official eligible-vehicle list and meet the Total MSRP requirement. Because eligibility can vary by model year and program track, check the current list for the exact vehicle before purchase or lease.

MOR-EV Standard is not an income-tested rebate. MOR-EV Used and MOR-EV+ have additional eligibility requirements.

  • Point-of-sale option available at participating dealers
  • Massachusetts residency or other qualifying applicant status required
  • Vehicle registration and retention requirements apply
  • Lease terms must meet current program requirements

Which Volvo Models Are Currently on the MOR-EV List?

As of September 2026, the following Volvo models appear on the official MOR-EV eligible vehicle list. Model-year coverage differs by program track and the list can be updated. Always confirm the current listing and the vehicle’s Total MSRP before purchase or lease.

Volvo ModelEligible as NewEligible as UsedListed Rebate
Volvo EX302025 – 2026—$3,500
Volvo EX402025—$3,500
Volvo C40 Recharge20242022 – 2024$3,500
Volvo XC40 Recharge20242021 – 2024$3,500
Note: A vehicle appearing on the MOR-EV list does not by itself guarantee eligibility for a specific transaction. The exact model year, vehicle configuration, Total MSRP, applicant, and purchase or lease circumstances must satisfy the program’s current requirements.

Massachusetts Volvo Home Charger Incentives

Home-charging incentives are utility-specific rather than a single statewide rebate. Eligibility, equipment requirements, incentive amounts, and enrollment rules depend on the utility and the customer’s residence and rate/program participation.

Eversource’s Massachusetts Managed Charging program offers eligible residential customers ongoing participation incentives of up to $120 per year, plus a possible enrollment incentive. Eversource also offers rebates for certain qualified charger and/or home-wiring upgrades, with requirements varying by program and customer category. Customers receiving qualifying charger or wiring upgrade rebates may be required to enroll in Managed Charging under the current program rules.

National Grid’s Massachusetts EV Charging Upgrade Program can provide a wiring rebate of up to $700 for an eligible single-family home, with higher amounts available for certain 2–4 unit properties and qualifying environmental-justice or R-2 discount-rate customers. A separate charging-equipment rebate is available to eligible R-2 discount-rate customers under the current program. Certain customers receiving wiring incentives must also enroll in National Grid’s Off-Peak Charging Program.

  • National Grid wiring rebates can reach up to $700 for eligible single-family homes
  • Eversource Managed Charging can provide up to $120/year in participation incentives
  • Enhanced amounts can apply to eligible environmental-justice and discount-rate customers
  • Eligible chargers, vehicles, wiring, and customer requirements vary by utility program
National Grid timing note: National Grid currently promotes December 10, 2026 as a date to act on current home-charging incentives, while its detailed program terms state that applications for eligible installations completed in 2026 may be submitted by March 31, 2027. Because the utility’s published materials contain different timing language, confirm the applicable deadline and program terms directly with National Grid before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MOR-EV rebate applied at the point of sale?

Yes. MOR-EV Standard can be applied at the point of sale through a participating dealership when the applicant and vehicle meet all eligibility requirements. MOR-EV Used and MOR-EV+ may also be handled at the point of sale when the required prequalification or voucher process is completed. The MOR-EV Trade-In adder is applied through the program’s required claim process rather than as a standard vehicle point-of-sale discount.

Are leased Volvo EVs eligible for MOR-EV?

Yes. Eligible leased vehicles can qualify for MOR-EV, subject to the current program rules. Lease terms and applicant requirements must be satisfied; consult the program administrator for the specific transaction.

Which Volvo models currently qualify for MOR-EV?

As of September 2026, the MOR-EV eligible vehicle list includes the Volvo EX30 for model years 2025–2026 and the Volvo EX40 for model year 2025 as new vehicles. The current list also shows qualifying Volvo C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge model years for the used-vehicle track. Verify the current listing and the vehicle’s Total MSRP before purchase or lease.

Can I combine MOR-EV rebates with a trade-in rebate?

Yes, when the vehicle, applicant, and transaction meet the requirements for the applicable programs. The MOR-EV Trade-In adder can be combined with an eligible MOR-EV Standard or MOR-EV Used rebate, and applicable MOR-EV+ benefits may also stack when the program rules permit.

How do I know if my utility offers a charger rebate?

Check directly with your electricity provider because Massachusetts utility programs differ. Eversource and National Grid currently offer residential EV charging programs with different eligibility rules and incentive structures. Municipal light plants and other utilities may have separate programs.

Is there still a federal tax credit for buying an EV?

No. The federal clean-vehicle credits for new and used electric vehicles are not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. The federal credit for qualifying alternative-fuel vehicle refueling property is not available for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. Consult a qualified tax professional regarding your specific situation.

Does Volvo Cars Plymouth guarantee these rebates?

No. Program administrators determine all eligibility for state and utility incentives. The rules, funding levels, and vehicle eligibility can and do change. We provide this guide to help you research, but you must verify current program rules directly with the administrators.
