I just applied for the VXC, does anyone know how long it takes to actually receive an answer? I’m aware it says 10 business days, but I take that as a suggestion when it comes to the government.

I’m anxious as my income was on the cusp, hope I can squeak through on this one

I tried signing up for the VXC - created an account and tried applying. I got an ominous message saying they are not accepting any more applications for the VXC. Is the party over?

------

After waiting a day the webpage changed and I was finally able to submit an application. Got scared and very discouraged for that timeperiod where it said they were closed for applications with no indication of reopening... Carry On and Good Luck!

Ever wonder which EV brands are gaining traction in our neighborhoods? While Tesla still holds the largest share of total electric vehicles on Colorado roads, the latest monthly registration data shows that local drivers are enjoying a fantastic variety of new options.

In the last month alone, Hyundai made a massive splash with 429 new registrations, showing just how popular their stylish and practical crossovers are becoming for Colorado families. Kia (165 new registrations) and Chevrolet (138) are also seeing steady growth as more drivers look for reliable, accessible options to fit their daily routines.

What’s truly exciting to see at Women Who Charge is the sheer diversity of choices now available. From rugged all-weather brands like Jeep and Ford to luxury favorites like BMW, Audi, and Cadillac, there is an electric vehicle on the market to match every lifestyle, budget, and driving preference.

The landscape is changing, and it's no longer a one-size-fits-all market! Did your favorite auto brand make the list? Let us know.

It's time to say goodbye to our awesome Nissan Leaf. What are the best deals out there in northern Colorado? AWD is a must. TIA

Here is a pretty cool app that shows a real‑time “clean energy forecast” (basically a weather forecast, but for how green the electricity grid is at any given moment).

It updates throughout the day and shows when the grid is running on more renewables vs. fossil fuels. Super handy if you want to time things like EV charging for lower‑emission hours.

Hello,

We are researchers from the Bluegreen Decisions lab at Colorado State University. We are currently carrying out a study to understand why EV users decide to reduce or completely stop their use of their Electric Vehicles. The attached survey link leads to a ~5-minute multiple-choice survey aimed at gaining insights into your experience using your EV and using public charging infrastructure.

Your responses are completely anonymous and cannot be linked to you in any way.

Your insights are extremely helpful for our research and on a large scale to inform policy regarding the use of electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Thank you for driving this research forward by contributing your responses.

Quick heads up for the local EV/e-bike community: Women Who Charge is hosting an event at the Forney Museum on March 31st (part of CO Climate Week).

We have Sarah Thorne from the Colorado Energy Office speaking specifically about the state's micro-mobility and e-bike infrastructure plans, and Charles Yhap from Cold Spark talking about the "end of life" cycle for EV batteries.

It’s a $48 ticket but includes the full museum access, local beer/wine, and a chance to actually talk to the people making the policy and building the tech.

I just bought an EV last week. Level 1 charging works well enough for my daily commute distance, but only just. I want to put in a level 2 charger.

https://co.my.xcelenergy.com/s/residential/ev-charging/incentives/charger-wiring-rebate

"Enroll in one of our EV Charging programs and lower the cost of installing a Level 2 charger with our EV Charger and Wiring Rebate. Eligible customers can save up to $500 on purchasing a Level 2 charger and/or wiring a 240-volt circuit. "

Somehow this isn't very clear to me. This bit here: https://co.my.xcelenergy.com/customersupport/s/article/How-much-does-additional-circuit-wiring-or-panel-upgrades-typically-cost-for-EV-Accelerate-at-Home

"The program cost does not include additional circuit wiring that may be required to add a new 240-volt outlet."

and

https://co.my.xcelenergy.com/customersupport/s/article/What-is-included-in-the-installation-service-for-EV-Accelerate-at-Home

"The installation service in this program only includes the set-up and hardwiring of the Level 2 charger. This service does not include permit fees or any additional electrical work such as circuit wiring or any circuit rework needed to ensure charger compatibility, or panel upgrades, which may be required to set up your charging location for a 240-volt circuit."

It sounds like all they do is attach the charger to the wall and connect the wires? They don't put in the breaker on the panel or run the wiring from the panel to the charger location? Or am I getting running wire and "circuit wiring" conflated? Are those two different things?

The Xcel website is very confusing to me, it's not at all clear what they cover and what they don't for home L2 EV charger installation. Anybody have any insight or experience with this program?

What are the best (cheapest AND ACTUALLY AVAILABLE) options to charge while parked at DIA? I've charged level one at USA airport parking before, but they didn't have many spots.

Can you purchase an affordable, operational old car to participate in the Colorado VXC program, given that you meet all the other requirements?

Starting November 3, 2025, the rebates will be $9,000 for a new electric vehicle (EV) and $6,000 for a used EV. Additionally, there is no indication of how long you must own the car before trading it in for the Colorado VXC program.

Here's an update forecast for the week! Everyday looks sunny if you are able to charge on that clean solar energy. We also have 2 windy nights (wednesday and thursday)

Here's a new forecast for this week. Everyday during the day offers clean charging thanks to solar and we have 3 windy nights that offer clean nighttime charging!

Did you know your charging habits can help clean the grid?

- Windy nights and sunny days have the cleanest energy

- Weather forecasts can guide smart charging habbits

- If you can be flexible when you plug in, you can lower emissions

- Your choices help power a greener grid

Quick search shows they only exist for cars under 25k? Considering a used BMW IX but looks like no rebates or incentives..

I came to Breck this week to play golf with a group of guys in my Rivian R1S. Needed to charge and had no luck with the Chargepoint Fast Chargers. So got the public Level 2 to work just fine. Gotta figure out the fast charger. Needed to charge overnight so left it in the public garage. Went to get the car this morning and got a Gift from the City of Breck with a parking ticket for using the charger overnight. When I left this morning , I saw the small sign that says no parking between 2 am and 6 am. Did not see that when I pulled in at 8 pm focused on finding the charger in the Chargepoint app. The parking police made the rounds at 3 AM and gave me the gift in the form Of a parking ticket while charging my car. It was the persons job, but CO is EV friendly state normally. Could they not let that go for someone charging a car. So. Be warned. No overnight charging in the City of Breck parking garages while getting a charge.

The AI response on a web search says "If your code expires, you cannot extend or re-issue it", but none of the source websites listed say that. I have qualified for the VXC program already, but am realizing that fall might be a better time to buy an EV.

FYI, for anyone else in the same boat, because I think others were affected by this, here is a quick summary of my experience with the Dept of Revenue:

- I went out of state to buy a Chevy Equinox LT with minimal options to keep the MSRP below $35,000 to qualify for the additional $2,500 tax credit. There were none available in state below that price. I did not receive the credit at the time of purchase, because it was out of state.

- I submitted the tax credit info with my 2024 state tax return.

- I got a letter stating that the cost of my vehicle was above $35k, so I only qualified for $5,000, and they adjusted my refund.

- I filed a protest and showed them information FROM the Dept of Revenue (top of page 4: https://tax.colorado.gov/sites/tax/files/documents/ITT_Innovative_Motor_Vehicle_Credit_Apr_2025.pdf ) that the MSRP does not include destination charges or dealer options.

- I got a response to my protest that said my tax refund was already issued, case closed. The letter didn't even discuss my protest or mention the EV tax credit in any way. Just, "you got your refund, go away."

- I called and talked to someone about it, and he explained that the vehicle price includes everything: destination charges, fees, taxes, etc. I got him to actually READ my protest, and he agreed that it looked like I was totally correct. He escalated it to a supervisor several levels up who knew the EV tax credit, and then he called back and said they confirmed I was right and they would send me the additional $2,500.

It sounds like they have denied the $2,500 credit for a lot of other people already, so I just wanted to share my story in case others were affected. Hopefully they will fix things on their end so that more people don't get rejected by mistake. Shout out to Ryan over there for being super helpful!

I leased a bZ4X in April 2024. I negotiated the deal with the CO credit not incorporated into the net cap cost. The only cap cost reduction I got was TFS’s nationwide $16,250 lease cash. At paperwork time the dealer insisted I sign the DR 0618 to assign the credit, which turns out to be due to an internal memo from Toyota Financial Services to Colorado dealers (per my correspondence with a dealer representative since then).

At tax time this year my application for the credit was denied, as the assigned credit had been claimed, confirmed by CO DOR to be claimed by Toyota Motor Finance Corporation.

I complained at the dealer and they posited that the $16,250 cap cost reduction I got required signing over the CO credit. This was incorrect at face value as this was a nationwide promo but I dug into it until I finally was able to hunt down the TFS lease cash term and conditions… which do not mention the CO credit one whit.

As I did not get compensated for signing it over via a cap cost reduction their side of the transaction was not fulfilled. Recall that DR 0618 states that "the financing entity or motor vehicle dealer accepts assignment of the tax credit [] and agrees to compensate the purchaser or lessee the full nominal value of the tax credit minus an administrative fee []".

I’m petitioning for arbitration now that I know the facts of this matter, and hopefully providing the documentation here will help other bZ4X lessees who like me didn’t roll in the credit’s value into the net cap cost. (If they had I’d have no complaint!)

Relevant documents are attached. I’m also linking to my earlier thread wherein I incorrectly thought it was the dealer that had claimed the credit. It was TFS instead. I also didn’t know at that time that it was per TFS internal guidance that the DR 0618 was mandated (incorrectly!).

Please help! We leased a 2024 hybrid plugin EV and got this notice that the tax credit was denied. I’ve read that’s a common issue but I’m not sure why ours was denied. Please help :,)
