MARYLAND As posted here a few months ago, Maryland had suspended its original plug-in incentive up to $2000 sales (excise) tax credit for a Plug-In such as PiP (program ended March 16 2013). But the good news is, it appears Maryland has passed new plug-in incentives program for up to $1000 excise tax credit ($600 for Plug-in Prius PiP). It is not clear to me when the new credit kicks in, but sounds like some PiP owners here may be getting the new credit already. http://www.mva.maryland.gov/Business-Services/Bulletins/legislation-2013-bulletin.pdf VIRGINIA This is the last time I will post the tips for Virginians. Our new higher auto registration fees and $64/yr hybrid and plug-in fees go into effect on or about July-1 2013. So there is still a little more time to register your car on-line (DMVnow.com) for up to 3-yrs in advance at the current lower rates, to avoid the new fees. I did this for my Prius, but you have to be 6 months or less away from your re-registration due date to do this. Also if you a buying a new hybrid or plug-in in VA you still can do this to save a few hundred bucks, but time is running out.
